curled
ribbons of hair
defying orders
mocking you
all the way
from Brooklyn
to Portland, Oregon
there you worked in advertising
long days fueled
by coffee nights
by cocaine
just one screw
in a large timepiece
moving at jet speed
you only ate because it was easy
now the time
to cook makes your skin crawl
forgotten in this forest
anxiety a cheap date
cells reach out
shrivel and pop
like helium balloons
