u know these kids;
one girl so affluent
her mother
            gets       regular
(             ) *** implants:
[& she's got four ****-jobs]|
the other in a dead girl's          hand-me-downs
from last decade; patches & too much
greasy    lip pencil          & eye piercing
| he pulls up in his new black   Maserati -
| her sagging       mother gets jealous &
puts on another face - 'who's
that boy - that's not Jesus -|'
young Jezebel     is already
out the door- screen
    |       slamming     - (         ),
w/ the  two girls squeezed
into the cockpit
       Satan's ***** is roaring &
                    barking like a dog:
stupidly   Jezebel thought she could do coke in the car
w/            Candi's bony ***
              wedged in her lap like that & teenage
                       Satan swerving all over the road - w/ no lights no less :
driving dark & drunk & a slingback somehow gets
tossed out the car window    [Eli catching &
                  eating fireflies in the dark field
                  waiting for Satan to ride up w/                 the two underage *****]
Jezebel's              torn fishnet leg in his
lap;    her knee somewhere else,
    red & scabby     little sunburst -
   her size-4 Converse on the gas -
                                                          Candi­
                  gripping               the steering wheel:
       Jezz can't even         reach her little bobbed    nose
& the blow flies    into Satan's face -
                 'u dumb ***** -' he cried  |
                  when the cops finally      got
                  him to pull over                       [ officer t-

[Eli heard the crash from | (              )  the hill:
lights blew up everywhere  :::             like descending    UFOs:              
       [ palmed Satan's c-note & let the kids go:          :
       descending [     ], (     ):
       from every corner of the sky -
            the               pristine      blue         |
                             painting the cosmic ceiling -  
  |            Eli can see         the raging   |
                                wreckage raging    casting glaring red shadows
          of hot                fire     like Jezebel's lips    ||
                  rising higher & higher       into         the -star-fill-ed bowl
[Eli's phone rings: Satan
says he's having car trouble - ]
          Satan carried Jezebel's limp
  body up the hill; the older Candi
          trapped                in the burning chassis:
Eli met them halfway & threw
the girl's skinny body over his shoulder;
[what the **** happened?]
couldn't see the blacktop  - or that big-*** tree
                tree?                  it's too dark out here -
Did u pay that cop off? - yeh.
He won't be back, but we've got to put that fire out -
the night turned  into day | apocalyptic for the time
of night to [            |    ] became atomic:
the Maserati igniting the tree that flared  
                                     red into the night
light a giant torch held firmly in the grip
                of a gargantuan green goddess
                of the scented mists -  
                it took to flick a match;
the Maserati's [                      ] alcohol-fueled engine
tearing a gaping hole in the night like a ******* snooch
              smelling of Paradise & galactic             incense:     [Eli dropped Jezebel
home right before dawn & she kissed him
   in the car & then  realizing
   her mother wasn't home let
   him go a
               lot further - she was 13 -
Eli didn't car about **** like that -
'I like u, Jezebel. u make my     **** hard.' he said nonchalantly;
she sneered: 'I should     hope so-' (              ), (      ) |
