The bourgeois adores the anti-bourgeois.
Selected by L.M. Cole
No rehab for you,
our favorite
sassy drunk druggie
tatted-up art gurl.
The bourgeois
adores the anti-bourgeois.
Your grief
is their karaoke.
Stagger
on the red carpet -
they’re entertained
on their sofas.
Die a hundred times.
They think
you’re doing it
just for them.
