Hey, what’s going on? What gives? Who’s on first?
Darling, I thirst and thirst and thirst and thirst.
Let me buy you a used car and new shirt.
Let’s go prone and do clean things in the dirt.
I’m an In’din boy, so that means I’m cursed
To lifetimes of sadness. I need a nurse,
Not a damned hearse. I’m not best; I’m not worst.
I’m a mosquito, in love, soon to burst.
