“I’m sitting in post-op,
all bandaged up like the Invisible Man,
bitching about Lea
being late again except
I’m so high on Demerol
I can’t remember
what the hell time
I told her anyway,
so I make one of those
little pissy faces
everybody hates
and all of a sudden
the left side of my face
starts unraveling like a cheap shirt
and I’m running around screaming at the nurses
For fucking Christ sakes do something,
