GET A GRIP
Get a grip
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered

Tanka #39 my folks were hoping...
My folks were hoping to marry me...

a stabilizing influence.
...I don't think you were exactly
what they had in mind...

Hideously Fascinating
Beautiful
yet no mystery,
that ugly fucking thing
is intriguing
makes one think
about what they
actually see.
