Everything that went wrong
began when I let
my younger son watch
Waters' Pink Flamingos
I can put up some lame-ass defense
say I didn't LET him
he just walked into the room
where the tape was spinning
but I didn't say "NO!"
he was only 13
he lay down on the couch
watched Divine at work
said "Jesus Christ dad
I'm gonna throw up!"
but stayed anyway
little deviant
and big deviant.
I got mine over the years
grand and glorious
pigbrain karma heaved back at me
doubled because now
the kid is 24 and Pink Flamingos
is one of his favorite movies
he lives in Baltimore and
can take me to Divine's grave
as well as Poe's
big difference except
Poe didn't wear drag
that we know of
and his mustache was better trimmed.
