How to Raise a Tragedy

tin roof rain

drown her out

tears are so sudden

after a drought

baby scream

doesn't want milk

hates milk

why do they always give her milk?

cherrios?

pink bows?

soap so slimey

i'd rather be grimey

not so timely

breathing through a paper bag

easier

weezier

panic

frantic

inhailing that drug

chug

so dizzy

what happend next?

kick start speed

to cronic weed

she caste her pearls

before that swine

such a subtle hurricane

they never knew

underground rail-wreck

pitch black undertow

look out below

should have given

the baby her milk

made her stronger

she would have lasted longer...
