April is National Poetry Month! Here is some more Matthew Van Der Boot inspired poetry.
Runnin’ with the Devil (not that one by Van Halen)
“I mean, what does a
rapist look like anyway?”
He gives a toothy grin and
runs the palm of his hand
over the sandpaper stubble
of his shaved head.
“In my experience, it’s
the innocent looking ones,
the mama’s boys,
the fuckin’ yes ma’am,
no sir, I’ll have your
daughter home by ten
motherfuckers
you can’t trust.”
He looks over at
her and smiles.
“With me you
get what you see,
right beautiful?”
Inspired by Van Der Boot 1983, Episode 23: “Because what, I look like a rapist?”
