There’s power in the fuck off

       
…not just the casual f-grenade        
but the atomic fuck-all-the-way-off        
until you reach the furthest point,        
dream the impossible dream        
and fuck off a bit further
       
       
like when my Mother called tonight        
as she reeled off a bonfire of anxiety        
about my Aunt and all her endless shit,        
how they’re staying with her this weekend          
       
and I wonder if all the victims        
of Jeffrey Dahmer        
would happily sit down        
with the frantically chipped china        
and drink terrorised tea in a lounge        
with the Lord of psycho drama    
       
of course they fucking wouldn’t—        
       
it gets to a point        
where DNA becomes irrelevant        
and you need to accept people        
for the batshit bloodsucking        
mood hoovers that they are        
       
and I am so sick of family        
being the stick in which        
we beat ourselves with        
       
the salt we pour        
in our open fucking wounds…        
       
listen up        
my fellow little dumpster fires        
       
there is such power in the fuck off—        
       
not just the casual f-grenade        
but the cataclysmic I hope your flaps        
knot internally with your tongue        
so you can play a banjo ditty        
about deliverance and all its woes        
on a beat up paint-peeling porch
       
       
in the key of B-sharp        
and fucking selfish        
       
to the tune of hinges        
on slamming doors
