I was the first female rapist in Utah.
Poetry is dead, the newspaper declared
right underneath the article of my
indictment. Salt Lake is worst in the
country for air pollution. Pin that on
me too, why don’t you? I get
blamed for everything. Did you know
that it wasn’t Cain who murdered
Abel? It was me. There is a trilogy &
I am the last. The first and second died
before the birth of the first human being.
Come on, fuck me to track 3. I’ll even let
you blame your premature ejaculation
on me, too.
