i ride my pink bike
with the handlebar tassels
over a plank
sitting over a hole in the groundmy mom is hosting a dinner party
the table is busy with dishes and plates
the sink is full and dirty
the dining room is flooded with swamp wateri want a magic wand
i want to turn my worn, beat up, dirty sneakers
into some delicate ballet flats
and dance myself to deathmy life is not very much
like a box of chocolates
more like a closet full of termites
in a house that is beautifully rotten
