set loose in this city I did not choose love the green chile stew but hate the overall flavor people laidback to the point of bratty apathy poetry scene dominated by the same arrogant assholes year in year out casinos and mountains and rampant racism and everyone pretends to be liberal but Albuquerque, New Mexico is as conservative as my maternal grandmother the one who sends me a letter imploring me to give my marriage one more try she will pay for us to take a two month cruise she will pay for us to see a counselor she doesn't care that I would pay with my uterus and brain and spirit and gut but that is beside the point because the letter is in the trash and I have no phone no one can call me and lecture my weary ass they can pray until they are blue and bloated I will not be goaded back into the sheep pen I am roaming angry I am roaming ecstatic I am learning eBuLLieNce all over again and it isn't always pretty today in this city it was hotter than I wanted it to be and I was reminded of how handicapped I have been something so simple as getting the title of the car transferred to my name being condescended to by a bitch at MVD Express "I don't need your registration. I need your emission certificate." what the fuck is that? emission? come again? smoke test oh so I go to the emission test place and the men are all lazy and they are ignoring me so I leave I don't believe all the bullshit I have been protected from all the insane mundane day to day gore boring and bothersome goddamn I don't need a car that bad I'll get a bike I'll hike to work fuck Geico fuck the state of New Mexico all I want is my name back and the freedom to follow the rainbow right into the angelic arc of my lover's arms |
