EDUCATING MARIE #2019

When you first emerged into the world dressed in women's clothing

I balked a keg stand, pushed up your dress so as not to showcase

Sheer black mid length thigh matchy-matching affair's online

When you first emerged into the world bitten by scorn

I kept my dentures at bay

Truth is not a particularly useful or plausible concept in love

The truth is I just ate my friend and will never eat a new one

I ridiculed your first emergence like a little bitch

Calf jealousy calf masculinity calf excuses

I dine alone by binding myself approvingly to a troft full truth

The difference between understanding and accepting is one resumes

When you first emerged into the world touching yourself

I immediately dispensed with diapers

And accepted you show the world everything

Sorry to truth you to death when you first emerged

Now I drown myself in a plate of shrimp
