Serena sat on her
fecal impaction
in the other
room whilst i
sudsed dishes
in another.
Sobbing boo hoos were heard
over the tv screams
and i didn't even
rivet my spine.
Though i did cock
my head a bit for
enhanced audio definition.
Another client came
to verify. She's okay,
but you better walk over
there anyway, or she might
not ever cut out her crying.
Okay, what's wrong, Serena?
That house, burning on the
tv, makes me remember the
house I lived in when we
was little. Through
yellow wet eyes she said this.
A minute later, my hands
are dipped in the sink,
and she's screaming with
laughter about a joke
over a cigarette or the tv
story and whatever else has
gotten tangled up in the
eaves of her mind.
