1678

I tell the man at Pizza Hut

I’m gonna break something.

my hands are too small.

I had a lover tell me once

give your

body to the trees.

And I’m not mad at my stepfather.

And I don’t think about

where we used to rent videos

by that Chinese restaurant.

my hands are a good size.

sometimes I wander off

get tempted to write

I wander off.

I started a poem I should finish.

I’ve sold my bed and can’t go home.

I wander off.

I pull the sheets over

they don’t make a sound.

I wake up gagging and coughing

all I can say is no.
