GUN CRAZY (Part Thirteen)



Hello, Teenage America!

they wasted me
I was wasted
from the beginning
from the waist up

They had television take me out

I was set to be so beautiful
I was set to be Arthur Rimbaud
with a radio

I never asked for this miasma
of fuzzystatic forms
I was leaning on my life too long
and it fell asleep

please
slam it hard a few times against the wall for me
wake it up

Jesus, this was reeeeaally good. I like, want to stand up and applaud you, Jason. You have such a unique style and say so much in an uncomplicated way.
