Comments Off on trains and ambulances make me cry
I ask the girl waxing my legs
whether her particularly violent ripping motions come from thoughts of someone she doesn’t like?
She supposed not.
But, after a pause,
once mentioned,
her sadism increased noticebly.
I walk free
then look back down from Grafton’s Hill
a train passes
so few passengers inside
and I choke up
today was the first day an ambulance fought its way through rush hour traffic
and I
didn’t cry
