Leaning over my chilli supper,
American "fries" and garlic bread,
self-pity, as warm and familiar [for me this should be a new sentence]
as an Agatha Christie novel,
settles on my stomach like indigestion,
that classic pain which all depressives know.

Anne Sexton, I love ya, but baby
you were wrong. When you wrote that
"No one's alone," you lied. Though
maybe without intention.
thanks for a good read
That you say I'm not politically correct makes me very happy indeed!
I often worry about seeming like a bore, a prude, if you will.Thanks also for the feedback; I'll edit that line once I've finished this.
