Listening to Death Metal at Target

Melanie Browne

Dog food,
I need dog food.
Windex
I need Windex..
Paper towels,
I need those too

Every time I walk down this aisle
I think of your lies! Lies!
You suck the blood from my life!

Oh look at these cute shoes.

FORGET SHOES!
I’m gonna watch you take your last
Breath I’m gonna
Rejoice at the
End
