i am not equipped for this life in the store the man says his dog barked as the newborn fawn huddles and wobbles on the side of the road surrounded by a buck and others of its tribe protected for now before the big bus trip to maryland i treat my boyfriend to his first massage he says it is the best birthday present he has ever received "awesome" and while we lay there in separate cubicles side by side separated only by a thin curtain tension builds in my body an uneasy awareness of 'his' therapist who is young... striking who wears no bra and sports erect nipples and though my own body relaxes muscle by muscle on its separate table my mind works overtime on a tense script afterwards from the city bus like toxic mushrooms let loose after rain fiberglass lighthouses spring forth reach to the sky decorated on every street corner a blight upon the earth reminding me i am not equipped for this life |
