lyrics

CONFESSIONS OF A CHOP-CHOP LADY

He didn’t kill her
(no, he didn’t kill her)
he bludgeoned her with an ax first, and then
with a scalpel, and then with a toothpick
he severed her body into tiny little pieces
he fed her thighs to the dogs
he masticated her breasts till they spurt puss
he chopped her ears and hid them in a sack;
he buried the sack, then carried what was left
of her hemmorhaging head
down to his big bad bone.

And what was she to say, you ask?
And what was she to do, except--
Bite.
Chew.
Nibble.
Swallow.

But he didn’t hear her
(no, he didn’t hear her)
so he hammered her bones
till they turned to dust;
he sprinkled them over black, black coffee
he sliced off her tongue and fed it to the birds
he skinned her knees till she could not walk
he fingered all of her locations
with the lubricant of blood
he screwed her with nails of rust
he peeled her down to a wilted rag
he sucked her cat like the big bad wolf.

And what was she to say, you ask?
And what was she to do, except--
Bite.
Chew.
Nibble.
Swallow.
