. . . chopped salad of her unconscious
paints
a pretty picturewasnt hers would have
loved otherwise
from Bat eater and other names for Cora Zengcolon
a novel by Kylie Lee Baker
an unexpected friend turned her onto it
on an American flight leaving Phoenix
she was on the aisle
unexpected middle seat tableback down scribbling feverishlylooked feverish
You have to provoke me
she lookedup immediately
Excuse me?
Youre lefthanded
her look Duh
Me too
lefties relate immediately
they should have been otherwise
her grandmother when her Mom left her in Grammas care would bind her
hand shut
Mama tore Gramma a new asshole when
she returned unexpected and found her bound
Gramma
Old Country
A lefthanded child is an evil child.
she had a few boyfriends who might agree
with her
exploring her sexuality she found
them wanting
Hit the road Jack
unexpected and she hit if off
the flight brokedown when backed up
towed forward deplaned walked to another gate in another
concourse
Phoenix is spreadout even wider than
she could spread her legs
boarded an aircraft
no airconditioning
good thing unexpected was beside her
they sweat forty minutes though were cooler than other passengers for the
conversations they breezed through
flight was cancelled Mechanical
they were informed to go to another gatejah in a another concourse
arriving at that gate agents informed
them there wasnt a crew to fly the aircraft and departure would be the
following morning
it was that following morning
unexpected took up Americans comped Uber ride and motel
she lefthanded Luddite spent the
night at the terminal
couldnt fall asleep bugged
by the chopped salad of her unconscious
wish she recognised it as that and would
have said so before Kylie Lee Baker published it
shed have beaten Kylie
