'roadkill'
 
 
  i'm fifty inches sad
  and fifty stitches bad
  black and blue and violet hue
  spit in the shiner from your shoe
  curse me, po' white trash
  riddled from a Hustler's ash
  crucifixion under contradiction
  pay 99 cents for a year's subscription
  slime and chic
  will not rattle
  poker face for a coonskin battle
  one more reason to dignify
  the lack of integrity
  incestuous smut, strapped upon me
  lain upon a gravel road
  bloody and gutted
  and the oaks
  look away so shy
  they have birds singing in their eyes.
