| Jean-Frédéric Schall, ‘la Promeneuse’ (s/f) |
can’t fuel up my car
gas tank door frozen shut
using my debit card
to pry it open
everyone asks me
if i’m cold
because i’m not wearing pants
his hand trembles
as he orders the lyft
i throw up
every christmas
for the sake of tradition
i don’t like
holidays
because the café is closed
and i don’t get any emails
i don’t like family dinners
i want to eat sushi by myself
every day
until i die
