Geez Louise!  The Heart Strikes Again

Geez
the heart strikes again
this time
crackhead lady at a gas station

crying and half naked
begging for a ride
how dare I say no
right?

maybe if my stupid heart
didn't feel bad
for everyone
I would still have a car

this is Detroit
come the fuck on
the heart clouded
my intuition, again

this shit is getting old
crackhead no pants
sure, get in
what the fuck is wrong with me

I had a lot of time
to ponder that question
walking home in the rain
about eight miles

also pondered who's idea was it
to get rid of the payphones
I mean am I the only person in the city
to get jacked and leave their phone as they flee?
 
fucking crackhead
fucking no phone in a ten mile radius
fucking soaked
fuck you heart

the heart dies tonight
no two ways about it
I'm done
its done

I reach my block I'm almost home
when I realize
I don't have my keys to get in
I throw myself down on someones lawn

I start kicking the air and rolling about in a fit of rage
I smacked myself a few times
got up, walked a bit more
an sat on my porch

awesome! more time to ponder
how fucked up having a heart really is
and how I'm getting to work in four hours
my cats stare at me from the window

I give them the finger
fuck them for not having opposable thumbs
the sun starts to rise
I sit there soaked, pondering my hearts demise
