when we were
thinner
& our bodies
banged
together.
let’s write a movie starring Alexis Reich,
the JonBenet cult leader, as an out of work gym teacher who starts a race riot in mid-70s Philadelphia with an army of blonde child pageant queens.
medical bracelets & strips of material
from the billboards we erected
& set fire to.
a puddle of blood in my belly
left me sore-
so scream the centipedes
& mothers.
