I like my friends to come with warnings [145]
I like my friends to come with warnings

They entice: not with jewels, jiggles, the flaunting of gems,
but with garlic on bated breath, dirt under broken nails.
No diamond is better than rhinestones
in this rough tough world of fake perfume.
I want the truth, the warning, the back-off-or-die!
I want to know they want ME, not just my gothic finery.
