all places inside are moist
and moldy
the rubber is a thick
smelly cloud and my
fingers are glued together
in a position that I didn’t
choose
Super Glue has a weird
warm feeling when it
dries, as if it is telling you,
that it is dangerous
burning without real fire,
creating a smooth surface
on your fingers
and when you scratch it
off, you scratch off your
skin with the glue

Dear Cinderella, do
you know that boys
smell bad and that the
hype isn’t real?
Are you wearing hot
underwear on your
wedding night?
Do you have nipples?



Singing like a bird
Endless harmony work
Legs for days
no escape


Mr. Princy Priiiiiiiiince
Mr. princy Priince


And how did we
become Cinderella?
Heel cut
Toe cut
And then the shoe fits
Cinderella you have
such a pretty dress
Such a pretty face
Goodbye Cinderella
Thanks for the ride
Like demons, we have
bird feet

Glass break easily
Dreams break easily
Find the bitch, Cindy
Find the devil
Be the witch
Cindereeeellaaaaaa!
Take your mice
companions, all your
bird friends and have a
party
