Perception of a Luckless Bad Girl

do you see spiders or do you
see stars
I see melted
candy bars
don't know cars
or hockey
or any kind of ball
but I know
the shadows
on my wall
and when you call
I know pretend
and I know discount
and I know end

sending you reasons
the old-fashioned way
won't make
what has left
come
back
to
stay

play Find (I don't mind)
     Fuck
and Forget
I'll stick to Lover's Last Roulette
your Juliet died
when you
were born
I'm only the cow in the meadow
eating green corn
scorn becomes you
it's your due
we can't all be
as articulate and deep
as you

what gets me through
when no one is calling
what's a girl to do
when there's no more balling
writing & reading & masturbating
OH MY!!!
I have forgotten
how
to cry
