The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:47pm

I was That 37 Year-old

with The New Haircut

back from Pass

— why was I even in There?

Because I thought

I was The Second Coming of Christ

wearing A Sign on My Blouse

“Waiting To Be Believed”

with A Helium Balloon tied

to My Very Thin Wrist

being told by Nurses

to take off My “inappropriate” Sign

& My Balloon

so They would agree

to talk to Me
