Wire Mother

You came in screaming
When you caught us on the bed
You dragged her by the hair screaming you fat slut
Then you grabbed an enormous electrical appliance and
I think it was a VCR and smashed it across my skull
Your perversity was so refreshing
Your deformity was so compelling
I bled profusely and left for the hospital
She said I don’t think we should see each other anymore
I got six stitches and I thought it would give me some moral leverage
But it didn’t it didn’t it didn’t
Your deformity was so compelling
Your perversity was so refreshing
I heard you mumbling again and again
You bastard you lied you bastard you lied you bastard
You lied you lied you lied
? the night you left me
I was sure you would stab me in my sleep
But I am still convinced that we were meant for each other
Clutching desperately to a wire mother
