Hey, can I ask you a question?

Yeah, sure, what is it? Hopefully nothing on the performance report…

I’ve noticed since working the promo table you keep looking at the bulge in my pants, is it distracting you? 

I didn’t even realize I was looking, but that makes sense if I was, I’m such a clumsy girl right now

You are, that’s why I wanted to touch base with you 

And I appreciate that more than you’ll ever know, I think just watching you be the court’s jester makes me do things I wouldn’t normally do

You’ve looked at it more than just today

I know it’s been more than just today - today has just been one of those hot days at the promo table

It’s fine, I understand, I’m a confused individual this time of year, too. 

What do you mean?

Well, I ache everywhere below my skin and  I’ve betrayed everyone I’ve ever loved at the twelfth hour

I imagine that would be distracting

It wasn’t until my third nymphomaniac I realized I could potentially feel like this into perpetuity

You certainly can, but I’m also not doing nearly as well mentally, either 

Only 1/113 has more volume, it makes sense you are feeling lightheaded and dehydrated

You make me more anxious when you talk like that, I feel like we are living in the moment

Anyways, I became paranoid about it all, so I took enough MDMA in the pickup bed of a woman whose ex-husband committed suicide on the first night of their honeymoon in Honduras while she looked up good seafood restaurants nearby to forget about it all

And you’ve gathered all this data because?

I want to believe them, but I’m too stupid to comprehend them when they say that it hurts so bad to be me.

Qualitative and quantitative data, sure, but I’m still looking at someone melting tungsten round after round 

I know you’re still looking at it. 

Bruises all over my thighs while you spit in my face and drive me into the garden of Eden, and you think that anyone wants to get off this ride? 

Well, I thought you didn’t accept applicants with over 60 written complaints 

You’re too obsessed with taming nature, and less involved with making beauty beautiful 

That’s because you’ll only ever hear the opinion of war deserters 

Yet I hear you got your ass kicked by some field medic, and I could care less

Well, I had no idea he wouldn’t play by established rules of engagement, but I’m pretty sure I buried him after the sixth hip toss into the brown liquor of true winning and losing 

Still, They made you taste your own blood with the smoke of the Midwest dusk.

Does that mean that I was pimped out more or less than all the other maimed vets? 

It will feel hollow like that for a few years until you truly claim another soul for yourself

Don’t talk too sweet now or else I might hit star 67

You think you defy the odds, yet nobody has a single memory of you being virtuous 

With time, I became more decided on claiming things I could bite into rather than building my character and values 

Seems like you have all the right in the world to avoid the reflection looking back at you 

I’m entitled to deny myself of that sight

You’re entitled to nothing, you’ve separated breath from life beyond that of your own corpse, the true son of Lilith

Meanwhile you squirm with desire seeing their bodies turn to rigor mortis as my footstools 

Because you’re the last true form of ecstasy on any given Sunday 

Finally someone has the courage to say it beyond a whisper

I long to lap up the after birth of your next emotionally abortion - it’ll be headlining our next premiere.
