my body, the hand grenade ugly crawls inside, makes a nest. an animal chained in a cage, my insect in a jar.
i spit out my ugly. it wasn't supposed to be this way.
life is a simple arrangement of numbers and measures. the bathroom mirror under florescent lights is my sacred altar. never mind that nothing else is sacred.
my broken body, the hungry child i give her food, i take it away. i make her cry. i bleed for her.
