pulls my back into spasm
that weird age...

VIII.X
Male friends are now so few and far between
except her flatmate and the pair of gay men
who adopted her one night when she was seen
being abused by someone in a gambling den.
All this because she grew too old, too soon,
and tried to be an adult while a child
by playing piper to a misogynist's tired tune
abandoning her youth and going wild.
But just for now the nicotine imbues
her body with the chemicals required
to bring some clarity of thought; ensues
some insight into what this day transpired.
