Killer

I killed the ants
in the garden
it wasn't hard
it wasn't hard
I don't think
you understand
me, lately
baby, I'm all wrong
you know
they said
this would happen
all the bad men
(now I'm one)
I killed the ants in the garden
and I didn't cry for them
bad, is it bad?
Is it bad? is it? bad?
bad? is it bad? like they said it was?
so bad
I killed the flies on the front porch
poured their corpses
down the drain
unceremonious
murdererer
the tv said
I would change
I killed the previous tenant
In my head or so they said
I think that's pretty reductive
but I'm tired
so, whatever
you want
bad, is it bad?
is it bad like they said it was?
bad, is it? bad?
bad? like they said
you would go bad?
I killed the ants in the garden
and I swore I didn't mind
I know you don't
understand me
so I let you
have the lie
