American Dream

I ride bareback on a bald eagle
right through your door, or
if it's locked, your bedroom window
You're gonna love me!
I'm patriot porn--
Apple pie sweet
and fuck me heels
Cherry red mouth pledging allegiance
while I jiggle my blue starred tits
I'm white as fine grade cocaine
You know you're addicted
Glory, hallelujah!
You know you want me
I'm the American dream, cupcake
Just don't open your eyes.

This is as caustic as drain-cleaner! I love it.

Your piece would also be perfect to share in the Garden today, which is going with "Bye, Bye Miss American Pie"!

Perfect. And as we spin more and more out of control, more icing is needed.
