When I watch you
Wrapped up like garbage
Sitting surrounded by the smell
Of too old potato peels
Or
When I watch you
In your old man shoes
With the little toe cut out
Sitting, waiting for your mind
Like next week's grocery
I say
When I watch you
You wet brown bag of a woman
Who used to be the best looking gal in Georgia
Used to be called the Georgia Rose
I stand up
Through your destruction
I stand up
