I'm Actually Kind of Serious About Sleeping with The Missiles

I will not apologize for my origins.
I am not society's stereotype of a Scary Black Mountain Dew Goat
The best pizza joint North Platte ever had
was run out of business by a rumor that the owner was gay and bleeding AIDS on his pizza
During this same time the local news reported the mere presence of graffiti
as proof of a previously impossible gang presence in town with perfect creditude
Like Serious Doughboy Baker types had invaded the country outposts
and in the 90s they were already saying that Lexington was being swarmed with illegal immigrants
In those days you see the Cold War was still what people had been raised to become
You were a good person only inasmuch the bastards were out to get you

It was a big deal
the killer bees that mad scientists had let go from Brazil
so they could go be languid and bisexual
The bees too were swimming up from Mexico now
By Y2k they would control the Maine woods
In the meantime they would make a welting nightmare of the newly domesticated desert south
Attacking old women with good American names
while they cried in remembrance
Even on Nat Geo
or other such staid pro-nature shit

 That's how bees got to be central to the overriding alien apocalypse arc on "X-Files"
 Killer bees on apocalypse swarm was a real fucking thing
 that proper and serious people knew to be happening in front of our eyes.
 And however strong the consensus that X-Files was "Great" may be
 I like to believe that only I understand
 How fucking perfect it trapped the ghost of 94 in a bottle
 better than any show ever displayed its time before or since
 and how X Files has a perfect case for "GOAT" because of that.

I got my mom into the reruns for awhile
Until she cracked her fucking head and now she can't stand it again.
My family comes to me with the big ideas they have because Josh is smart
Sometimes Dad will rage about the black oil antidote that would have wiped Valdez prestine
only the tree-huggars kept it secret because they're out to destroy good businessmen
My sister reads what this guy said about what this guy said about the prophesies of Nostradamous
How it's all coming true now and we better look out for the world ending soon.
I sit her down and say 'Wendy
The world is going to end when you kill yourself like all of us have always known you would'.
