Analysis of Cracked Blame
A blame game.
Mom!
Copper scrub pad.
Check.
A small flower in a glass tube.
Check.
A light.
Check.
Crackle, Zizzle, ZAZS!
The buzz is on!
A little dizzy and horny as hell.
I just want to be by myself
Smoke, smoke, smoking.
Crawling on the floor.
Obsessed!
Out of my mind!
Finding, plastic, sand, or rice
Everything Burnt and cracked
Oh, little white crumbs!
Mom!
My boyfriend??
Or was it me?
Maybe it was only curiosity.
The knowledge gained,
With guilt and shamed.
Mom!
Those are the consequences.
A blame game.
