I start out strong with
good intentions. Sit at the

Don’t you know no girls
allowed? Threaten the big boys,
they call you a bitch.
An email from a

lodged down deep tear you apart
from the inside out.

after a bad one.

how poultry is killed. They cluck
as I eat hot wings.

as if they were allergic
to viewing my life.
