Description I’ve been shaking hands with Jesus.
He knows my name,
But never returns my calls.
I see his face every day.
Every day in electric razors,
Toaster ovens, worthless figurines,
Speed blenders, fake diamond earrings,
Porcelain-faced dolls and gold rings that lie.
In liars, cheats and fools.

Each day, black-eyed,
Sitting punching in numbers to receive my “once in a lifetime special offer”….to be complete.
I need this,
These solutions for modern day living help me breathe,
Help to keep me sane,
They help me to be a person too.
My skin itches if i don't have useless shit around the house,
My head splits.
No worries.

Not available in stores!
Tell the angels to sing, there’s another sucker on line one.

I’ve been throwing my hand with Lucifer,
He knows my name,
I’m a valued customer,
My call is important.
I fucked it all away with the last eight digits of a plastic lover.
Paper or plastic,
Bullets or gas,
Cancer or a heart attack.

this sucked me in ... 

I appreciate starting with Jesus and ending with Lucifer; When one replaces "good" with QVC because they answer the call so we can place our orders for instant gratification, we discover that always getting what you ask for becomes "bad"...  It makes it complete as a story line that we can each fill in from our own experience.

I love the concept, it made me very, very happy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to profanity in poetry. Sometimes it makes it perfect. But it doesn't quite seem to flow, here.

Yours,
