NUCLEAR BANANA

SHE

 

Was born in downtown humid Atlanta, 

Was raised in the Arizona oven. 

Ate pickles first,

Swam irrigation ditches at sunset.

Became an aunt at 28.

Lusts for beautiful things,

And ugly,

And boring,

Old and new ones.

Sang in the shower, and the car, and occasionally at late night Korean karaoke.

Traveled alone without language.

Fell in love recklessly.

Died over and over and over and over and...

Yet,

Laughs.
