BAD ASS
MOTHERFUCKER

by Paul Sexton
2004

 
You are
                  one bad ass mother fucker.
                  Planning your latest escapade.
                  Fuck the world!
                  Fuck everybody!
                  Fuck it all!
                  You sneer menacingly
                  at your own face
                  in the mirror.
                  Psyching yourself
                  like some functionally deranged
                  Neanderthalic
                  motivational speaker thug.
                  You chant those words again
                  over and over
                  in varying intonations
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker!
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker!
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker!
                  Fuck this world,
                  i’ll show them.
                  Fuck anyone that gets in my way.
                  And you’re off,
                  in your 1991 Ford
                  pickup truck, white, dirty
                  you have your gun,
                  and that’s all.
                  That’s all you need.
                  You are such a bad ass mother fucker
                  that when you get there
                  to rob the place,
                  on a split second last instant whim
                  you make a decision to disrobe,
                  butt motherfucking naked.
                  After all,
                  what is more bad ass
                  than robbing some stupid ass
                  suburban motherfuckers at gunpoint
                  stealing from them
                  and the store
                  taking what is yours by right
                  as a bad ass mother fucker?
                  Doing it completely nude
                  that’s what.
                  Big bad assed hard on
                  with all the eye contact
                  barking threats
                  squeezing the trigger.
                  You are the king of the fucking world
                  my friend.
                  
                  And there is that face again
                  but this time
                  it’s on surveillance tape
                  Big bald black head
                  that squiggly shit they do
                  hiding your tremendous hard on
                  laughing hyena eyes
                  wild, uncivilized
                  prepared to pounce.
                  
                  There you are
                  on the evening news,
                  fucking everyone’s false feelings
                  of safety
                  of security
                  of sanity
                  of convention.
                  Fucking everyone
                  with your hard on
                  with your gun
                  with your crazy eyes
                  with your overwhelming confidence.
                  As man
                  As criminal
                  
                  And your lips are moving
                  there on TV news,
                  your secret mantra under your breath.
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker.
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker.
                  I am one bad ass motherfucker.
                  
                  Your time is coming.
                  Your time is coming and
                  It will be here soon.
