Fugazi Shame
No Fugazi trains ever ran for little old me
the Pink Floyd shuttle provided alternate service
between duckling and chicken. I feel passed over, I’m
a pity pot, I
cannot blame my parents no punk boyfriend delivered
the perfect mixtapes; that I was too busy waiting
for cashout at King Soopers, sick to death of slicing
choice boneless ribeye
or otherwise engaged at The Dark Side of The Moon
laser light show, 27 times, holding Chronic
in a Barbie lunchbox (I preferred to be the one
holding, I really
love power). Yes, sometimes it seems everybody
good got a piece of Ian McKaye growing up, girls
even; at a used bookstore in Boulder, one lady
told me she listened
to Christian rock exclusively before she landed
Ian; Fugazi about-faced her from a dunghole-
snarfing-piggie, a spectator, security guard
for a shit shelter
into a baby blanket of perfect compassion.
Fugazi is an American punk band formed
in 1987. I think I’d like to be
a fallen Christian.
