8 13 on a bet

-met an iron man at the cholesterol factory
Large and tall,
with noisy teeth and nipples.

I always try to negotiate with evil types
cause I know evil’s
just a word

when I drive the right nail home
and give a manly ultimatum
and stare him down

tell the motherfucker
he should have stayed in the army

insulting my
chic drinks

the ones I use
to balance the beer out

the testosterone dripping
from your
sweating fat

a violation of all that is attractive
and

I'm poised to smash this fucking bottle
over my knee

and go into a stance
like a matador
