Oh medium garlic grilled chicken wings, two short of a dozen. You arrive with ranch—and an extra ranch because the female bartender knows I am hungry and I am not self-conscious. I am ready for you, my petite poulets. I rip into you feral, like a starving mother possum— flesh, bone, weird little veins, gnawing and ******* Sauce on my wrists, ranch under my nails, fingers perfectly soiled in sticky perfection. This is not a meal; it is a perimeter. Men sense it. They stay back. Protected by grease and tooth and bones, I am in my bubble of tyranny. Let them fear the licking of the fingers, the ten ***** napkins piled on my plate, the hot sauce in the corner of my mouth. You, my wings—my snack, my shield my mess, my sisters. I curtsey to you and our beautiful courtship.

Ode to Medium Garlic Wings & Ranch
Oh medium garlic grilled chicken wings, two short of a dozen. You arrive with ranch—and an extra ranch because the female bartender knows I am hungry and I am not self-conscious. I am ready for you, my petite poulets. I rip into you feral, like a starving mother possum— flesh, bone, weird little veins, gnawing and ******* Sauce on my wrists, ranch under my nails, fingers perfectly soiled in sticky perfection. This is not a meal; it is a perimeter. Men sense it. They stay back. Protected by grease and tooth and bones, I am in my bubble of tyranny. Let them fear the licking of the fingers, the ten ***** napkins piled on my plate, the hot sauce in the corner of my mouth. You, my wings—my snack, my shield my mess, my sisters. I curtsey to you and our beautiful courtship.
