a girlish commute

Tears punching holes in my memory  
like a page bound for the binder  
where I save all I haven't said.  
Pinterest my heart like a voodoo doll.
Smile, maybe the salt will dry out my acne  
as I take the detour, avoiding police cars,  
only to notice my cuticles bleeding,  
when I had been so good, been so good,  
been the mother or the child of every lover  
I've ever had  
              — Oh fuck, I ran a red light!  
No time in my schedule for regrets,  
spicy noodles for dinner and forget  
how there were spicy nudes of me,  
baby shampoo clean, lying in bed.
I'm ok cause no one alive will see &
ingrown hairs don't  hurt the dead.
                    That's just girly things!
