CARE?
CARE? WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN CARE?
*(Charles Manson on the fate of Sharon Tate + her dead baby)
Mould on sandwiches at school Urine scented sweats reek of feces
too A small ball of bowel debris rolls out of pant leg onto floor Therapist
scoops it up says no more Later as boy examines pregnant Barbie leaves bite
marks on removable belly Baby stomped flat How to explain this to the
state who pays green eyed boy’s keep Is he a sadist now at 8? What will
he be by 13?
Let us look at Charlie Born: No Name Maddox 1934 Died yesterday:
Charlie Miles Manson 82 At 13 he held a razor to a boy’s throat raped him
His mother a 16 yr. old prostitute Kathleen Maddox Heavy drinker Lived on
the margins Never knew his father Spent most of his life in prison Car thief
Pimp Serial killer Mesmerizing brown eyes +cheshire smile lit up the unholy
darkness
Mother of boy with green eyes lived with a man now in prison for his de-
humanization She promised an X-box promised+promised What troubles
him most Therapist? This +the locked bedroom door: I couldn’t get to the
bathroom so I used the floor Is that bad? Barbie’s legs now akimbo about to
give birth to the rough beast on slow thighs slouching toward Los Angeles 1969
