It is just your luck.
For the rest of the day.)
But you use it as an excuse
To explain your past,
(Your past week, anyway.)
So you make another appointment
As soon as you can
Because
You don't want to put yourself through
Another week of hell,
Another three years of not knowing
What is up your promiscuous body.
And
Your left ovary is tender
But
You don't know it
Yet.
But you are relieved
Because
Now
You can prepare your little closet
By cleaning the bones,
By sucking on the marrow to take the flavor out.
Like your daddy would do
After he showed you how
To kill a chicken
By breaking the neck
Roasting it whole
Eating it
Down to the bone
So you go to the Student Union
To see your friends
Then you realize
Sucking the marrow to take the last drop of flavor out
In Modesta Village
When you were seven years old.
Trying to make a living
Selling long distance service
It has been a long while
