They said it was a one-sided argument.
They didn’t want to hear
about it anymore. They said they had
to get a new memory card.
Cause we’re living on a saturated
landmass and it isn’t only water. It was
cold and it made me dizzy.
I thought it was about to rain and made
a run for it and squeezed
through the fence so cars wouldn’t
follow. I climbed the ladder
to the roof where it was starting to
drizzle. The gate was locked
but I knew where the stairs were.
I used to go there to get my injections.
I used to act all innocent
like a rhododendron leaf poking in
from out of the frame.
I used to jiggle the handle
where a spider in a bowl of candle
wax knocked the stars off their
stems. I used to shake
like that till the plumbing got
fixed and the neighbors got deported.
