Jerry McGuire
No Picnic


So the children of plenty in the perpetual
springtime of their good luck have fuckall
to say. Gives you a buzz to ear their fuzztones,
pignoses, wah-wahs, and feedback like your mama.

Green, green, the shadows of the ones we victimized,
and I don't mean the lefthanded or the colorblind.
Words kachoo and godbless each other till doomsday,
but nothing gets done, perhaps because of the baloney

of those sunsets and the alabaster doilies
in god's toilet. Propitious pisses,
while the bleachers collapsed. And who cracked
your sky open, bigmouth? say the diehards.
Who da bomb in this ramshackle hall of dickheads?

Try to imagine Sunday in the country, all
the Koolaid you can mainline, yr own true love
aching for a poking: aren't these movies,
I mean these lives of ours, romantic?
How I wish you were a nice cat so I could skin you!
