Beautifully Worthless, The

“Lots of people hate gay people.
You can tell who they are because they start sentences with, "It's not like I hate gay people.”

“Who isn't interesting enough to help --
what forgotten woman sits in a lawn chair in her yard
with a can of soda pressed to her thigh, and the radio
blaring the death toll of Texans,
who were victims of a record heat wave?
Whose inner voice sits quiet like an obedient dog
and never says, go go go.
I want to go places I've never been
Because I haven't failed there yet.
So you can understand a little better,
How a disgruntled waitress might pack her dog
And a few belongings and head for a town
She dreamed of, searching for something to break
The spell of monotonous, morbid night speak.”

“do you or don't you know
the two worlds I'm talking about,
the world that doesn't exist
where you wish you could be
on the dirt road that stretches out of Idaho
away from the cave and family?
The girl you want lives there.
All my life I've wanted to be the grand gesture
that forces the mouth open in disbelief
Instead I was the lamp cord, collecting dust and never moving.
It's easy to be the destroyed one.”
