cow girl

take it for the ugly saids
like i'd gut you with a pitchfork
or i'd be so in love with the wrong person

get ugly behind the wheel
spin your brain tires a 70 miles per hour
or some big math number

get uglier the less i drink gin
tell her my mouth is not as dry as scotts bluff
but she calls the lies out

feel ugly because i am a human being
or naked or fat and hairy
or smile with a shattered face

say beautiful
you darling gold rope head
living in the unsurfable ocean

say fair, or it is
even with all the impossible equations
i keep trying to solve after dumbing myself

say nothing
