finding tomorrow


 

you threw up on

me last night

while the house burned.

you thought it was funny

that the light form

the fire felt homey.

 

i think it’s funny

that i have to wash off

mangoes and spaghetti made

without tomato sauce

 

but my soap

isn’t strong enough. i’ll

have to burn the shirt too

 

which is easy because you dipped the mangoes in vodka
