I am America

I am abandoned like the milk-carton children.
They should put my face on coke cans instead.
I am broken like the plastic kiddie pool.
Dirty sins flood the yard in Genesis 6.
I am cracked-up like the junkie in the school parking lot.
Selling dreams to the valedictorians.
I am defective like a wedding ring.
You never see me when your eyes are closed, do you?
I am erotic like late-night tv.
In my room I can hear them screaming dad.
I am flighty like a housewife.
Who flirts and fucks like a housefly.
I am graceful like her first dance recital.
The camcorder wasn't working so you missed her show.
I am hopeless like independence.
Only the dead are truly free.
I am jealous like a fat girl in July.
And my green eyes are reflecting my vomit.
I am killing you with a butter knife.
So soft, so smooth, you don't feel the squish and slide.
I am loose like your morals.
Only good for your children.
I am misspent like your last paycheck.
That whore gave my soul AIDS.
I am new like the car-house-dog-life you just bought.
But I'm a recycled curse.
I am obstinate like a bull when my love wants freedom.
The hardest part is letting go.
I am perforated like bulk mail coupons.
Yet you still cut me just to lose me.
I am quiet like the 4 am commuters.
Free speech is wasted on the young anyways.
I am rotten like the wedding cake in the back of the freezer.
You can try and salvage me in the microwave.
I am shattered like hope when you found out.
The roads are really paved with good intentions.
I am tamed like the lion in the zoo.
See me growl and roar each commercial break.
I am unremembered like the photos you find when they die.
Damn I shoulda thanked her, shoulda hugged him, shoulda wrote that down.
I am violated like a young girl who just wants to grow up.
Sex is the weapon of mass destruction.
I am wounded. I am wasted.
One more bottle and I will be wonderful.
I am xanadu forgotten like the moment you thought He looked away.
But big brother was watching you: checking off the list or writing a new one?
I am yielding like traffic to an ambulance.
I'll pretend to slow but I have to make this light or I'll be late.
I am zealous like capitasocialcommunism.
