greedy

i gazed at your plate & nearly wept

believe i’ll send PETA a letter of protest

you sank your teeth savagely until there was no shred of meat left

there must be laws against what you did to this poor chicken breast

i learned it by watching you

i’m texting to check in with my 3rd & 4th grader

daddy’s outside getting nice so mommies do me a favor

forgive the break in convention

for daddy’s drunk & inattentive

you’ll understand when you ask the same of them later

mouthwash

fuck listerine

i need my mouth superclean

in the date’s bathroom

with a fragrant mouth full

of antibacterial soap

after mutual fellatio


chaka khan. chaka khan chaka khan.

every time I hear chaka khan’s through the fire

I see an asian chick belting but mixing l’s up with r’s

many unintelligible covers the damn song inspires

like kanye’s overplayed one he sang through the wire

if you think you’re horny now

but you just had sex

last night with your ex &

beat it up as expected

and watched hbo as he rested

well what happened to the sequel

we thought this morning would lead to

it’s the meds’ fault, you’d plead to

yeah you lied but he didn’t believe you

i ate the whole thing

my goodness i ate the whole thing

and now my belly’s swollen again

i was expected to dig in

but still save half for him

now the bowl is soaking in dawn liquid
