Rebekah had brown eyes

Rebekah licked her chapped lips

and the cuts in the corners

Rebekah pricked her

nail beds burying

buttons and grey sashes

Rebekah closed

every envelope, complained

she felt sick

Rebekah stored brown paper

bags, made a heavy

leaning stack against her leg

Rebekah’s belly was bruised

she pushed the cash drawer

closed with the little bit

of fat above her navel

Rebekah combed her black

hair with a novelty brush

showing mountains and streams

second stall

county convention center

Rebekah gave my anxiety

balloon animals

giraffes and cats

Rebekah kissed my loathing’s

cheeks and left

red silhouettes

Rebekah gave out awards

to people like me

and the people like me

thanked her

gave her ones and loose change
