After Bernadette Mayer, at The Dinner Party

I guess it’s too late to live on the farm
I have cabbage in my teeth
and I can approve the final
changes

Mommy was hot for her; I think it was the rouge
and the baton!

Page 121 or 172– you should
choose 172– That’s good

I like it

Do you want me to read the poem? I might get to play my “drop
that issue” card. I’m on it!

It’s four degrees too warm for it to really freeze
I’m checking the weather

We get out
I know what you need but I think you’re screwed

I wish to god they would just cancel it
Let’s just not meet in the morning
I’m entertaining, I’ll get through it–
it won’t feel good, but I’ll do it–
