Porn Brain

Once, the nose-ring of fitting in
is now defaulting on 
an 80k vehicle loan,
the city is pounded into the crust
by rural cosplay,
lonely hands need
somebody's fridge to convey.

A zoo keeper replaces the dead
with a toy, says to the mother,
I'll make you an offer, 
pretend it's real
and your pain will slough away,
the nosed cub the fantasy,
raise it until it breaks,
same as this long wheelbase,
spread across the crosswalk.

She's never seen a day without wax,
the truck bed not a scratch,
a cupholder big enough for two,
and says to its owner,
I'm the problem for your solution,
and this bull run will break before 
you do,
you are righteous
you have credit,
don't fear the repo man.
