I perform the death drop at certain pro-life rallies.

They want to crown me king of killed fetuses.

They want to crown me in a crown of cut-outs.

They want to drive me in a wheelbarrow to the gates of the clinic.

They don’t understand: I am walking toward the palace of victim.

They line the road with the roadkills and the video machines.

I dance the panic dance with hammers and lamb.

I do the death drop in a riot.

Hello to all my friends in Queens!

My costumes are eating me alive.
