Poem:
The moment this
Bastard comes around
I start
Waiting for
Everything to
Collapse around
Me
“Oh don’t be that way”
Comfort says “let's go buy some
wine and laugh
all night”
“you jerk I bet someone’s
waiting to knife me outside”
“maybe”
says comfort
then giggles
I dress and step
CAREFULLY out
My door
No one is out there with
A knife
I make it to the store
Get the wine
Make it back
Without
Anything
happening
Comfort is waiting
for me glass in hand
“why won’t you
leave?” I ask
“cause you worry too much”
“I only worry cause
of your ass”
I pour us a drink
Comfort
gulps his
down smiling
at me all the
