COCKROACH
I
We’re arguing again.
I am a monster; I am free.
A fool in pretty shoes, with a glass half full.
You say: You have an attitude problem,
but I take it as a compliment.
II
We’re arguing again.
I am headless like a cockroach; I am reckless as a flame.
A bitter thing, like the beer we drink.
You say: You’re a dirty book, and
one I wish I’d never read.
III
We’re arguing again.
I am a clown; I’m crying wolf
But my sins will understand me.
You say: The penny jar is full
and there’s no room for pity.
IV
We’re arguing again.
I am an itchy scar; I am a lighted match
And I will throw a party for your nerves.
Tahlia McKinnon
You say: We need somewhere to go,
but we have run out of places.
V
We’re arguing again.
I am an average; I am double-‐spaced
and you read me like trigonometry.
You say: Have your cake and eat it
with your big silver spoon.
VI
We’re arguing again.
I am sick to my stomach; I am weak at my knees,
and I don’t know who I am anymore.
You say: All we have left is each other,
but oh, like it matters anyway.
