By force filtering the habitual carcinogens you're killing me

You're killing us both

Another seven-minute future strangled in the present

Licking the porcelain doll’s ashtray lips that once seemed so pleasant

Until the putrid stench of smoldering lungs crept through her rotting teeth

The repugnant aftertaste of her cancerous gateway kiss

Drowning in emphesemic mucosal suffocation,

Her destructive glamour falls apart with each poisoned breath that incites

the onset of a voluntary degenerative disease

that compliments the glazed eyes of another one of her

unchaste amourette binge drinking episodes at the greek-lettered brothel

the perfected circumstances of every welcomed weekend date rape

included in the fine print of every invitation to this rohipnol manufacturer’s heaven

her lifeless body an effortless conquest of a bleach blond american dream’s defloration

tear her flesh with usurped consent

she’s left herself to the fraternity’s predator’s tonight

to sate their shallow desires for one salacious evening of empty romance

construing intoxication as a plausible exoneration from mynogymy

its only cheating if she remembers it

spawn the malignant scars that will go unavenged in aphony

the monsters will never leave her thoughts or her fantasies

every regret filled second in the name of social acceptance

multibillion dollar corporations marketing an addiction industry of legalized drug dealing

the reality of designer drug abuse
