The Piggy-Wig Donates Their Nose-Ring

If I were a better person, I’d be willing
(even though it makes me sick)
to suck on evil like a loose filling.

I can feel my veins spilling
over with evil green oobleck
as I suck, so I’m willing

to volunteer for the long-needle drilling,
all for the sake of my civic
duty to be filling

myself and all my friends with righteous indignation
every minute of the fucking
day. I’m willing

to schedule myself for full-time hand-wringing
if that’s the medicine
needed to remove the rotten

member. We all know sickness
is the best physic.
That’s why I’m willing
to sell my ring for one shilling.
