Sunday Brunch
My Dad gave me
He was so proud.
Thick sludge and honestly
I ate it.
Tongue on Nietzsche
Opalescent grease
All over my hands
And everyone knew.
I told everyone
Brought them over
Eyes on me
I was so happy.
When my friend says
You’re an animal
And I say no. No man.
Pouring down my lips
Stoic and cool
I’m Red 40 glow.
I’m an American
