Bounce House Hell
Your fingernails peel from the heat
And mewling, catlike demons
Mark you as property of
Wherever this place might be.
You sleep through daylight
And wake in orange juice
And that’s that, ’cause
It’s just pink champagne on ice, yeah?
Domesticated boars add atmosphere
To the otherwise empty castle
The orange smell must be
To mask the scent of manure.
This is could be the place where
The fresh dead children play
A roadside stop
Full of diseased, amusing tricks
A castle turned ball pit of rot.
