lyrics

Happy and Fat

Ski gloves fit to hands,
ski mask. It's cold out, cold as a stray tit,
cold as the dead kittens
no longer sucking it, and the mother, malnourished.

A man and a woman
and their new born, from Arkansas, called the clinic around
Christmas. I guess they were
visiting their grandparents. At 10 days, their child lost 3 pounds.

Oh christ, oh shit,
that is worse than those goddamn kittens.

Stick a bottle in
that kids mouth: formula every two hours,
until it's happy and fat,
and not crying for food. It is that easy, too.

Is it that easy to
ruin someone's life? You do not even give an effort.
It comes more naturally
than just breathing, our hearts beating; it’s just drinking and eating.

I had a sandwich
just the other day, ate it passion.

Took me 10 minutes,
the dog waiting patiently in the car.
