PLEASE FORM YOUR ANSWERS IN THE FORM OF A QUESTION
By: J. Archer Avary
who is
citizen sugarcane
the diabetic sweetheart
an Oscar imposter
crackhead method actor
shirtless and tweaking out
high AF on bath salts
and strapped to the hood
of Boss Hogg’s Cadillac
check his airway
he’s horny
might need CPR
who is
hellfire on the airwaves
a shock-jock deejay talking
smack talk sugar smacks
in second-hand Ray-Bans
who is
Mister Transistor
gave your sister wicked blisters
treading heavy Doc Martens
across the Gadsden flag
in these Solid States of America
like a bolt of lightning
you plug it in a socket
who is
Captain Fantastic
large and in charge
with a rhubarb gold credit card
the one who gives no fucks
the one who gives two shits
the one who gives
the marching orders
where is
the line, the hook,
the whip-appeal in the spiel
that sinking feeling
of negative dopamine
when you’re sick from sugar
and can’t afford
the insulin
