On the Phone with Zayda

On the Phone with Zayda

Did you know my doctor has no teeth
and smokes
in the patient lounge? You can never trust
a guy like that
(the things I could tell you)

and who is the little girl in the photo you sent? Did

you make that blanket for me?
It’s spectacular and
I won’t let anyone touch it.

This place smells bad

and I can’t have coffee. It’s a hellhole.
No joke.

I wanted the vanilla ice cream
they gave everyone but me
because I told that shrieking bitch
to shut the fuck up.

They tied me to my chair
and left me
at the nurse’s station

all day long.

They took my blood even after I said no.
There is never enough food.
These people are crazy,
you can hear for yourself.

I was the boss, remember?
Who was your mother, again?

I can hardly hear you.
Don’t tell me you’re far away, come pick me up.

I want
to go home.

We’re trying to do something here
but he won’t bring me my clothes.
I promise I’ll be good.
(I’m always so cold.)

Who are you, again? I can’t hear you.
Tell that screaming bitch to
shut the fuck up.
