Southern faces
pale and fat
biscuit dough faces
flat-nosed dead-eyed
faces, faces and bellies
swollen tick bellies
dripping drooping over
belts and skirts
pressed against
buffet line breakfast bars.
Waddling fat asses
large and shapeless in
cop uniform pants
men with guns and
giant sack of flour
women asses cooling in
the air-conditioned SUV
seats racing nascar fantasy
interstates.
Drunken sloppy vomit in
the kudzu Friday night
strip bar night of rat-eyed
Southern faces plastered
with beer drool ogling
women things, genetic
mishap female things
in pretty women
costume bodies
that dont quite fit.
Snatching dollar bills
tentacle quick
fish cold swimming
through cloudy water
sewer music shit plastered
tastes spit covered
mall parking lot.
Buy a stripper something
anything for
fallen Southern belle
deserving entitlement
lazy ex cotton-picker
nose picking moron
cashiers
tattooists
newspaper columnists
TV commercial producers
shaping expectation
whittling down to
Simple Simon pie-faced
Moon Pie doctors
lawyers drawling
drooling professional
babboons looking
down their noses
throwing shit
at the monkeys
in the other tree.

perfect.
Oh, you didn't like it....
It's not a matter of liking it or not. I'm just observing.
I'd like to think that was obvious (that you were just observing), but I guess some folks don't understand writing about your feelings. you know what those folks need? A JOURNAL. :)
