The Budget’s Foe

Acerbo just got here.

Asks if you know it’s cold.

You don’t know what ‘it’ is.

Silence the liver!

Bring forth the mold.

Stomach grows a presence,

disturbing the architecture.

But the ketchup-thick blood

in the bathtub

ain’t Acerbo.

This gash is shaped the same.

Irreversible scarring.

Hiding head lice,

and drowning fleas.

This contorted lump

that squawks at you

and pisses on you

is literal.

But the knife wielder

isn’t Acerbo.

A systematic rape left me with questions.

Acerbo says you weren’t molested.

Sent to me via fucking text message.

Like a lover dose,

the voicemails are never,

ever over.

Similar to splitting you down at birth,

this gash is shaped the same.

Filled with mixed gas,

missed cycles

My locked smile

floats in bile.

Leave your sweetie pie a voicemail of it all.
