Providence
for E.A.G.


A man was mean to me today—my prayers
have been answered! He does not know
how sweet it tastes to be so lonely you could die
and find yourself a gutless sinner
begging to be roasted. On the spit
he left behind when he pressed up
against the space I occupied and shouted

words that rhyme with bundt
are specks of DNA soon to be linked
to evidence of child abuse, goblin frottage,
trails of tears and tax evasion, murder
at his residence—us cunts, we don’t forget a face
and none of us forgive. He knows my tits are fake,
but baby, I know where you live.

Hi, matsuno. The roasted/spit line is slick, frottage is new and interesting to me, goblin makes it a lovely insult. I like the use of "cunts" following the coy avoidance. My only stumbling block was this:
"(snip) He does not know
how sweet it tastes to be so lonely you could die
and find yourself a gutless sinner
begging to be roasted. (snip)"

It may be obviously clear to someone else but for me it took multiple reads and some deep puzzling to get to what may be the N's state of mind. I landed on self-loathing but it didn't pop right out at me. Just fyi.

Thanks for the read. Frottage as art to goblin frottage.  (cottage, wattage lol)

Thanks for reading! I feel so privileged to get multiple feedbacks in such a short time from one wasella <3

I also kind of hate this one the more distance I get from it, oops! I think I am not very sympathetic to my woebegone speakers right now.

There are some interesting ideas there, you might want to try a different view of it at sometime.
