Pretty, Ugly

The prettiest thing I
have ever seen is how
the wings of a butterfly
slice through the air
so fluidly. This consistency
makes me feel ugly. This is
my consistency: I snort 
cocaine, over and over. There
is one certainty, when my
high wears off I will
fall
back
again
into 
My 
suspicious 
life.
