Pretty like a girl?
Or pretty like a skyscraper before it scrapes your eyes
and tells you not to look?

Fountains are pretty
when they are flowing from a mountaintop.
When the gutter is full, it's kind of pretty
but usually it just means there's a broken sprinkler.

Broken sprinklers aren't pretty,
but they are good
for passerby's to complain about.

Everybody is different and we are all loved
by the same Creator.
My family and friends know I'm full of shit.
They don't know I say shit-
We say bull-honkey, or pudding.

I'm full of pudding, people. Laugh a little!
Just do it. I promise you won't regret it.
Be full of jello and wiggle those lungs.
Your abdominal wants to get up and dance.

Stop hanging out by the punch bowl.
Just close your eyes and take the hand
that reaches out for yours.

If it feels sticky, or misses your hand
and grabs something else,
just go back to the punch bowl
and try again.
