I AM AUNTIE DRUG!
by Edwin Torres


           I was quoted as being "resoundingly anti-drug"
           What I really said was that I am...

Auntie Drug!
Come soak your troubled noggin
into the bosom of my herb.
I am Auntie Drug!
Inviting you to spill your guts
over a hot cup of morphine...yeh...
it'll be nice...we never spend any time together...
let's dish some dirt on the family...

How about Grandpa's crotchless pantyhose...huh...
How about cousin Nifty's left teat...
How ‘bout a nice ganja milkshake...to go with that
Speedball you're droppin'..outta sight...
Mescalingo Snip Snip's gotta Smack Line, 1-900-CALL-ME-LATER...
You want some Horse? Don't be shy, it's in the cupboard...mi casa su casa...
Holy Purple Poppers...you look so skinny...c'mon
Have a plate a'crack!
Don't you ever eat...
Who feeds ya baby...
How about alla those nickel bags I left on Third Street...
Comin' down fromma high-I-I-I-I....can't remember... Who-U-B? Know-Not-I...

I am Auntie Drug!
Pulling tight on my varicose addiction...
I can understand how pain yields no past...
However crystal meth...was always my best seller...

Oh, look at you...
I could just pinch your cheek....
I could eat you up...
I could just cut you in half and eat a part of you while the other part looks...
Oh excuse me, I'm not thinking clearly...
How aboutta hit...
I could bite your ass...you're so cute...

I am Auntie Drug!
C'mon stay a while...
Keep me company...
I'm lonely...
