This was published in a small literary newspaper called “the shade” in my hometown of Plymouth, MA when I was couch surfing in early 2013

got Type 2 diabetes

from eatin cookies and cake

permanent brain damage

from huffin gold spray paint

Hep c from the needles

liver damage from the booze

I'm playin Roshambo every day and I lose

this is real talk kid

I dont exaggerate

26 years old with an enlarged prostate

deviated septum

lung cancer from the reds

just to keep livin

I take like 32 meds

Herpes simplex types one and two

hey there shorty

can I holla at you?

Im a sick motherfucker I get worse every day

got an extra chromosome on my DNA

got no gall bladder

HIV from the bitches ran through a plate glass window

one hundred and eight stiches

I got a real bad habit

in a short life span

I am the gross domestic profit of afganistan

junk box to the core

my minds a dark dark place

shot 8 grams of bath salt

chewed off my girlfreinds face
