so what
named your pet Cat
despite its barking
so what

get bitten up
while smoking
but you wear plastic
vampire teeth
say it’s not that mundane
so what

you go running
with a pocket knife
hoping for an animal to skin
you bring home a pelt
from the flea market
say
you found your prey
so what

you drink a six pack
and
half of a bottle of whiskey
pat your belly in the mirror
laugh
and eat fast food
before crying about the way
the sky looks
so what

you play guitar
missing some strings
say
you lost them in a bet
to see who could
play the fastest
you won
but lost those strings
so what

you call your friends bitter
but you can’t decide
which bedmate you want
or if it’s lust
keeping your heart beating
so what

you’re just an empty
vessel
but
so what

I am too
