Let’s take a minute to reflect upon who we are. Sit. Breathe in all of the things you need
to. Never mind there are couches. Never
mind the reflecting letters, how the walls sulfur and blow. Pay no mind to the way your little sister
cried under the slaps of your father’s belt circa 1987 while you hid in the
bathtub, head between your knees, rocking like a retard. Just breathe and let it all fill in the
chinks where the light comes in, disrupting everything you were meant to
be. Breathe and wait. When nothing happens, when no answers come
and you don’t feel a bit of difference, you are done. Tell the polar bear to leave. Kick his flabby ass on his way out the
door. Say, “That’s right you fuck,” and
don’t even bother slamming anything, polar bears can’t hear worth a shit. Instead, think about fingering the girl at
work you hate so very much. Think about
feeding her her own cunt slime while you half choke her out MMA style, your
erection burning a hole in your fist.
Then, once you come down from that high, call me. On my cell, not my house phone, I don’t
answer that shit. I’ll lie on my back
and listen to everything you have to say.
I promise. If you need me to talk
back, I will, just don’t ask me to come over, there’s not one part of me that
ever wants to see your face.

very great
Wow. Wild flow and ride. Strong stuff doesn't half say it, and throughout. Flows beautifully in terms of the construction, and each newly revealed element/turning/surprise leads somewhere I hadn't expected. And everything builds to an absolutely killer close where all of the above is even truer. Kickass piece.
you know the polar bear never leaves.
