rejection changes you in every way

haunts materializes spooks actions

you wonder if you smell repudiated

you wonder if others smell the spurn

on breath armpits belly folds privates

is there a cool overall deodorant spray

that can be used to hide dampen kill

the stench smell odor stinking funk

the envelopes my being like a ghost

from Christmas past chains clinking

I've washed my skin body bloody raw

trying to unputrify foul reeking specter

do you have a soap eau de toilette goop

for a buck ninety five fifty five hundred

to cleanse me from this embracing spirit

whatever the cost it cost me much more

to walk veiled villainized malvaporidden

because you found me to be undesirable

in that moment and threw me to hounds

licking open wounds with raspy tongues

rejection changes you in every way

haunts no comedy to be found here
