these small pills like small white stars
pour them like coins in your pocket
these small pills like poison
control these things like fire between my thighs
iced tea and other nice things
almond milk and soft silk
skin rough from scarring
jarring as the shower stings
greasy hair and tired eyes
how can they all not realize
the cool air on my bare skin
and starving my body to become thin
minty and dry
hold your breath and try not to cry
I'm not the man you wanted
but my body is a bullet
maybe i was the one you flaunted
just cock it and pull it
