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.
