Overused, fled, tooled, collapsed, relapsed,
Drunk, sunk, fattening, greasy,
And it is on sale. Buy it now!
Before it is too late!
Sedate. Bait. Fate.
Expired. Wired. Hired. Fired.
Inconclusive, abusive, gone, numb, sad, dumb,
Suicidal, bridal, untitled.
Chained, insane,
Screaming, pleading, disagreeing, but pleasing.
Seizing, sneezing, sickened, desensitized,
Circumcised, sodomized, oversized, and it is
On sale. Buy it now! Before it is all gone!
Pawn. Dawn.
Elected. Injected. Neglected. Vivisected.
Stolen, swollen, crowned, downed, bound,
Illusive, abusive, inconclusive, and obtrusive.
Bombed, conquered, rebellious, blasphemous,
And gone. Numb. Suicidal, entitled, signed,
Bargained, delicious, poisonous, toxic,
Hazardous, hurt, lost, thrown, overgrown,
Boned, stoned, loaned, and owned.
And on sale!
Bought, taught, rotten, and corrupt.
Jagged, smacked, ragged, lacking, fattening,
Calming, embalming, convulsing, pulsing,
Written, read, and accepted,
Then rejected to be neglected. Infected.
Uneducated, rated, sedated, baited, jaded,
Faded. Lost. Gone. Numb.
Poetic, apologetic, kinetic,
And on fucking SALE!
BUY IT NOW!
DON’T EVEN FUCKING THINK ABOUT IT!
JUST ACCEPT IT!
And buy it. Pry it. Try it. Fry it.
Don’t you deny it.
It is on sale!
This weekend only! It must go!
Gone. Numb. Dumb, enraged, caged,
And waged. Employed, deployed, toyed, void,
And pleasing. Alcoholic, symbolic, nostalgic,
Contagious, outrageous, and racist.
Overwhelming, hypocritical, political,
And on sale!
Buy it now! 50% off!
It is available.
And flammable.
And explosive, hopeless, jokeless, and laced.
Paced, faced, and based!
Get it now! Available in a store near you,
ON SALE!
Cradled, cold, gold,
And BRAND FUCKING NEW!
50% off!
It is available. It is available. It is available.
This weekend only!
Corrupt. Trust. Rusted, dusted, and delicious!
Nutritious! Corrupt. Toxic.
You can roll it up and smoke it.
You can swallow it.
You can follow it.
It’s in this week’s paper, check out the ad!
Sad. Bad. Had.
Eaten, beaten, and even vegan!
On Sale!
50% off!
This weekend only!
Listening, glistening!
Mystifying, crucifying!
On Sale! Available now!
Buy it now!
Confusing, abusing, misusing, and bruising!
But delicious!
Tasty, hasty, wasteful, distasteful, mouthful,
Hurtful, mindless, spineless, fine, and kind.
Recorded, distorted, aborted, and snorted.
Crushed, blushed, rushed, and hushed.
Corrupt. Numb. Vanquished. Overcome. Lost.
Hopeless. Forgotten. Sad. Lonely. Suicidal.
Misunderstood. And yes.
IT IS ON SALE!
50% OFF!
THIS WEEKEND ONLY!
