Magenta

By 

Corinne Henderson

Part-time compliment to blue,
full-time bad bitch.
Chain smokes American Spirits,
guzzles cheap gin.
Went to art school,
fucked all the nude models.
Young, old, fat, thin,
likes to lick the folds of flesh.
Chokes lovers without permission,
wouldn’t listen anyways.
Not allowed back at Disney World,
Goofy still writes.
Once punched her cousin on a ferris wheel,
stole a carnie’s baby.
Call her purple instead of magenta,
she doesn’t give a fuck what you think.

Quiz question:
