Song of
the Chemical Boy
by Nile Coy
I am
The Chemical Boy.
I am The Plastic Shaman.
I am the master of all things,
and all things are the master of me.
I have no money, and I have no credit,
And everyone’s always trying
to sell me something.
I understand the way that the world works,
And I am not willing to do a damn thing about it.
I have spoken to God, and she is cheap,
And disposable, and made of plastic,
And I love her more than life itself,
even as she suffocates me.
