Shit day
When my sister asks if I’m ok,
I reach into my bowels
unfurl a banner
that reads…
I read all the books to convince you.
I turn, face the sun
let my innards
(and the banner)
dry.
I fold the banner
fifteen times
place it on the tip
of my tongue
swallow.
I taste the dry bowel blood
continue to swallow
convulsing each letter
feeling the folds
scrape along the inside of my throat.
I fill a glass with my piss
hold it close to my chin.
I take a jerk backwards
help the banner down.
I look at her face.
Reveal
I’m fine.
