Plastic Vomit Problems

Sometimes my mouth opens
and words come out

Its like soda that slips out the side of the cap...
it sounds like an embarassing bodily function...
but its not a big ass deal...

Sometimes when I throw up and look in the toilet
I pretend its those plastic throw up toys and I can pick it up....
It will be a flapping piece of plastic,

My problems will be plastic covered contents in ceramic toilets
In showrooms , in Home Depot....
where newlyweds with shining rings and plumb colored sweaters will shop

I might sit there naked in Home Depot...
Naked on that problem free toilet without a newspaper of words to eat.

Maybe they might buy me and take me home
And Ill be a toilet,
or a shower,
or a plastic throw up toy for their 2 year old son.

Anything but being me....
Anything but being this whore of self I've been.
Anything but this half of my brain that lives like...
...like a stepped on, chewed on  bubblegum from 1995
.....stuck on the sidewalk.

Oh God.

Come on Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and little Smith.
Buy me and take me home, so I can live on a magazine rack
or as a coaster on your coffee table..

I don't want to live in this skin anymore.

I closed the toilet lid and laid naked next to my baby blanket after writing this.



Yours Truly,

Plastic Vomit
