Brad Pitt picks his nose and eats it
Natalie Portman cries in the tub over trivial things
President Obama has sleep apnea
And you are afraid of the dark

Her ****** is a gift she’ll give you
After a week
A month if you’re very unlucky
You’ll marvel
If you’re bold
Or you’ll miss it because you’re shy
But eventually
You’ll have a half hour
To stare at her
And before she becomes mundane
Before her **** walking away from you
To the bathroom or the kitchen
Becomes wallpaper
Take a good look at her
And remember the paper-white of her
And remember that she fascinated you
With the novelty of beginning
And how once her **** walking away
Was the reason why you everything

I started wearing a heart rate monitor
All the time
I got it originally to figure out my threshold on the bike
I haven’t gotten around to doing that yet
When I first put it on
I guess it hadn’t made proper contact
I looked down at the watch
It blipped a tiny radiating pulse like a submarine Doppler
Searching for a beat
My friend pulled my shirt up licked the sensor and stuck it back to the place just beneath my breast
I laughed
There it was
Now when I walk
I look at my wrist obsessively
**** Tracy waiting for a secret message
I am thirty now
And I worry, nightly; I will be too old too soon
To be a mother
I worry that I am a child
I interpreted an ultrasound
For a deaf person
A communication with the beyond
The doctor searched for the right spot
Made contact
And I heard the muffled, galloping sound
Of someone trying to survive underwater
I opened and closed my fist to show her the rhythm of a pulse
I have no god
And I don’t want one
But what I do want is a sign
That I am alright
Tonight I sit on top of a closed toilet and watch water fill the bath
The best part of the day
A reentry to the womb
Right before I get in
I remember myself
I unhook the monitor from my ribs
And get in
Submerged, I listen for the galloping
But hear only neighbors
Shifting furniture downstairs
When I’m done I can’t help the compulsion
To put it back on
And when I do I get the message
