Olive oil drenched chips
or cooked with sausage in stock,
either way tastes yuck.
Dandelion seed
responsibilities float
away on each breath
Domestic mountains
rimmed with grime, sponge scaling this
Everest of suds.
Ate bad stuff. Gained weight.
Hate myself. Still, I think, There’s
always tomorrow…
One bite then the mad-
ness begins. Binge-stuffing my
face. Swallowing whole.
Olive pits. Glass shards.
Bent straw. He warns, It’s not a
garbage disposal…
Drops by at four, raids
the fridge, toasts unhappy hour
to his firing squad.
Held back by your tight
seventeen syllable leash,
I write elsewhere now.
Shivering at the
airport. Colder than O’Hare.
Turn back, refund flight.
