Old Aunt Mary

old aunt mary lost her legs to the knife.
we’re going over tonight to look at it again.
i will ever sell you out, like a fish thrown back
in a double knit tweed and a bad men’s scent,
but i’m in love with a defeatist and wild for magazines.
i’m not just some boy breathing down your neck,
i’m absolutely the most important man in the world…
and my fucking kids will play two sports apiece.
old aunt mary with purple feet…
