Poem Collection - MythOfHappiness - 24. Bubblegum

I can’t chew bubblegum

pop my insides like

coca-cola sweet on

rubber-tongued dolls

fucking in the kitchen

where my mother smoked

cigarettes smell like ash-tray kisses on

wednesday after church let out

I’d cry in my bedroom

sheets sticky with dried

“come over” she slurred

snapping pink sugar into the

phone calls sound so

fake-carved with a razor into my arm

wrapped round her

waste of space, of

time ticks don’t stop

-watch seconds pulling heart

-strings swell, bitter honesty pouring out

-side nerves sting

raw truth don’t taste like

bubblegum
