Most Likely To Recede
PBS PSA: when you grow up learnin’ songs such as The B-I-B-L-E
yes that’s the book for me
and if The Devil Doesn’t Like it He Can Sit On A Tack (OUCH!)
it’s unlikely you’ll become a Rhodes scholar, let alone
America’s Next Top Model.
Cheated from the start.
I’m still bitter because I wasn’t accepted into Texas State’s MFA program.
Never wanted to be a professor. I wanted to be Bukowski.
Pay me to fly into your city, get drunk, get laid and tell everyone about it
on a poorly lit stage because I am just that American, bitch.
Jesus gets all the press and that pisses me off.
He only died once. Anyone can do that.
It’s like I said once and I’ll say it again and again ad nauseam
all the way to random Texan dipshit grave:
Ax murderers are better than poets.
They only kill you once.
I die every time Taylor Swift releases a new album
and Pamela Anderson gets married.
If you can believe in Billy Corgan, motherfucker, you can believe in me.
Drop the mic but don’t drop the soap.
You do not want to be that person.
“Most Likely to Recede” is included in the forthcoming Super Cherry Extra, coming soon and available at the Underground Lit Fest in Toledo on November 7-8.
Misti Rainwater-Lites shuffles tarot cards to keep the lights on and scribbles lines and makes sick beats to maintain a semblance of sanity while melting from triple digit heat and menopause in San Antonio, Texas. She does it all for the nookie so you can take that cookie and shove it up your ass.
