I arrived here at 20, rail thin in a polka-dot
dress,
tooth enamel dissolved by stomach acid
I was banking on my high school sweetheart
to be a source of love
An injection for a supply I'd been mercilessly
cut off from
It didn't work.
In the time we'd spent apart, he'd become a surfer
up in San Luis Obispo
and had developed a penchant for getting high
at 5 in the morning
I spent my time with him mainly:
a. not eating
b. checking the status of my hip bones
c. hiding from his alpha roommates
I'd wander around town cosplaying as a girl next door
hitting up TJ Maxx
