I broke her favorite crystal vase.
I felt liberated. It was good.
--"Satisfaction Guaranteed"--
I WANT MY MONEY BACK!
"Hush little girl; you make no sense.
Didn't anyone tell you not to spit"?
and
"Close your legs you little whore!
Time for the tabasco sauce".
She pushed and pushed;
of course we had to fall.
Broken objects followed by
more objective discourse.
Bleeding in silence...
living comfortably in hell.
There are demons inside us.
The devil is alive and well.

I liked this.
I do think that these two stanzas:
"Broken objects followed by
more objective discourse.
Bleeding in silence...
living comfortably in hell."
tend toward the abstract and don't fit as well with the language in the rest of the poem.
