yesterday i fogot
but today
the idea is still fresh in my mind.
as fresh as it was when i took
that last bit of toast
and swished the water in my mouth
so i couldn't taste it anymore.
yesterday i forgot
but today
i feel the emptiness that has developed
in that sin they call a stomach.
now, that too, is dead.
like my hair, my nails, my heart...
i could go on forever.
today i remembered
but yesterday
after doing so well
i came home.
home seems to be the place i eat the most
i can go into the pantry and pour myself
a cup of cereal,
and the amazing thing is-
i don't have a lunch lady to pay each time.
today i remembered
but yesterday
the urge rushed into me
and without even thinking, i caved in.
almost as if it were a ritual
meant to be performed over and over.
meant to make girls cry
and lie
and sleep.
because sometimes
to pass the time,
that's all that you can do. |
