This Day II
started sobbing
and heaving
dripping snot
on her chest
began a fight
with her
still standing
in the shower
risked rejection
by reaching
across the console
for her hand
everything bagel
yum yum
coffee in my
tum tum
moderate race
to therapy
arriving
two minutes late
debating a
fifty dollar bag
versus
a five dollar combo meal
my new bag
equals
ten burgers, ten fries,
and ten sodas
