quick and easy

how to lose me

left some of my own
molecules
on your floor

you told me to pick them up

pick me up
drag me across
the sidewalk
with broken glass
but you don't want
to be responsible
for any stabs

a casualty
is me
using the towel
every morning

isn't it boring
how much I talk
and remind you
that I am here

killed a bug
in your room
threw it away
the same way
you keep trash
that isn't mine
you can have my
spider legs
some other day

I am more than one crime

if you don't like
the mess
if you don't like
the pulse
if you don't like
the smell
if you don't like
a good choke

then don't put your dirty tongue in my lap.

I want
dead roses
at the funeral
