Revenge of the Dirty Kids
(for Debbie K.)

Debbie has cancer
she’s done shit
punk-rock, pulp-bruising, drug-intake machine
it’s the revenge of the dirty kids
on narc-planet
in sector Amerika
hobos and geraniums
chamber recorder rancid death-mate ego explosion infinite crisis redeemed
Julius Caesar’s last breath while being stabbed…
molecules of the first breath from butterflies shattering chrysalis containment unit
Debbie has cancer
Joe Cancer shows up to the door
(in Sector Amerika death is compartmentalized,
each death has its own death you need to pay for)
smoking a cigarette with no face but scavenged plastic refuse
Debbie and the Dirty Kids say “fuck you”
death on Debbie’s terms
green skull immortality
Debbie’s first breath into eternity
will be the last breath of christ
punk rock goddess into the wild and crazy forever
