we are this blood
your love has shunned our outlet mall
leaving me still dressed in last summer’s Don Johnsons
unable to eat more than four burritos
in three sittings
while you sit inside your own dreams
of a somewhat more exotic JC Pennys
sipping mai tais out of mug shaped training bras
trained to destroy me
like grown up chicks
with Robert Plant hair
like to do
(from my book Avenge me, Baobob Tree Press)
