Issue date: 4/3/09 Section: The Verge

A pin
stuck between my
third and fourth rib
on my left side,
(your right).
A hissing
escapes,
the sound of my
desire
mixing with the
air.
I am
shriveled.
This is a
hole
that only
time and distance
can repair,
a patch made from
the skin of
new promises,
although rubber,
(but it looks like the real thing!)
will never completely cover
this gaping,
disgusting,
vile,
stinking
mess
of the remnants.
