i grew up on / food stamps / and
canned vienna sausages / i grew
up on microwaved / pizza rolls
and on wonderbread / and fluff
we used to watch / the birds
when i was younger / i
thought i was a bird / as
a kid / i knew / we couldn’t
afford / time around the / house
my mother used / to braid my
hair / once i cut my bangs
with safety scissors / and
thought i could fly / and so
i know / what hunger / looks
like / and so / in the morning
i will / learn to bake / you
bread / and we won’t / be
hungry / and we won’t / make
love on an empty / stomach
i will cut yr hair / with / the
scissors you / found in yr
room / and you will / love
someone else / and i will
eat god in the / morning
and the sun / and the sun
and the sun / doesn’t even
know me yet.
