What If I Was Just Your Mirror Self? Poem by Smack Thompson

You KNOW why you like me?
Because I'm the effigy society burns
on it's altar
and I make that little pang in your
heart *


You like me because-I tell you

all about my dirty unwashed hair
and my dirty unwashed lovers
and my dirty unwatched health

If I were a millionaire
or a fake

or YOU
I might not have the same all out

beat 'em up

scrape your throat like a pointed

fish.bone kind of impact

You KNOW why you like me?
Because you see me/
but you don't gotta be me.
