Trash
Mashed up and burning.
I hate when I’m shopping and that happens.
Empty.
I never went home after that.
Hurts like popcorn in the microwave, burning.
Seething.
When I’m shopping for cooking utensils or things I can’t recall.
That I can’t recover in my bright eyes.
I’m in the store and there is clattering. Stop, slow motion.
And things like that.
I went to the garbage dump after that.
Tried to throw myself away.
An old banana peel grabbed my wrist-
Then tossed me back, and no one knows.
