lyrics

The dirtbag comes to me at night.
A slick black hide inches towards me.
An eye opens--huge, bulging, yellow and in the face of it I feel acutely, painfully, the shape of my arms and legs curled sideways on the bed.
But then it wraps around me, circling its body to fit mine, and the slime dissolves whatever I had painted myself with.

Dolly would always say, “That will be me.”
She is not my friend but a demon who possessed me, the barbie in the computer game I dressed up in red and called Satan.
I wanted to grow like a different plant into her, enough leaves to hide my lumpy middle.
But she is fickle, without an audience she gets bored of me and then I have to wait.

I get so angry.
Alone in my house what is the point of these painted nails?
I am not doing enough, not good enough to do enough.
My stomach shrinks until everything tastes like cardboard.
I am convinced there is a parasite inside me, sucking me in, consuming me from the inside out, and her name could only be Dolly.

On a silver chain around her neck is a heart-shaped diamond, a diamond which is really a dump, a trash can for all our fantasies, which it swallows and shits back out in every direction.
I want to be in it digesting, floating in stomach acid and becoming every dream at once.
I want to be everyone at once.
