Banana Republic

The nerd princes
in the high school
we as punks also
publicized photos of
the us in
drag on consignment
but later
with more
elbows remembered
the OTHER pic, yo.

Saw that one
ooh stark!
in my head full
of colored thumb bones.
In that fucking wool
directed to look
away from the camera
and then induced
puke-awareness
that I slumped
hair gel and
horn rims to
smooth out
my inherent mange
for the girl and
worse her mother to
think me cute.

A bloody shrug seeped
from hawk-bit
shoulders, ah
shit it was all
coming down for
the break-up and
I broke the
house down
with an uncle's
borrowed
wrecking ball.
