I can’t get ahead in life
because I can’t stop saying: S O R R Y ..
I say it repeatedly,
without ever taking a breath…

In actuality, I regret nothing—
I have been forced to feel shame too frequently in life
pushing me into a state of absolute shamelessness.
I can almost picture
the sharpened eyes of God
glaring at me through your t-shirt.
Aw fuck…
I almost forgot that I am the greatest poet on Earth.
I think I have an undiscovered illness
which makes lesbians love me like one of their own.
If I see you on television,
I want to see you kiss.
