CHICKEN FIGHT
we recognize each other
two half people, trying to
mold ourselves around wholes
whole people, whole smiling
beautiful people, incredibly lucky
who let us ride on our backs
like geckos from hell
I never see you
alone anymore, it's
hard to remember,
I think at Danny's
birthday party I was
sitting alone in the
coatbedroom on the coats.
I hate parties, I hate
parties where you are
there with Nancy and
I watch you sit together
and hold hands on the
couch, and then Danny
comes over and sits
it was intense
it was volatile
it was fucked up
it ended badly,
so badly --
the sex
the fights
he was so sullen
he was so hurt
