28 BACKSCRATCHER
My head is bored
with cardboard boxes;
hammered with
tequila and bubblegum.
My jaw just went through
a title fight;
my neck is sore with shame
and unrestrained contemplation;
my instinct is aching in my stomach,
turning my innards like a rotisserie.
There’s a spot on my back
that I can’t quite reach.
It is sunburned
and itching
with wait
for you.
