Puking Myself Up

after berating you and bitching all the way
to Rio Rancho and back
and going to bed facing the wall
shivering with nerves twitching
ignoring you
sleeping with disturbed dreams I deserve
awaking to your troubled hard sleeping sounds
getting up to pop some pills
washed down with Walgreens spring water
feeding my not hungry self two Reeses and
a salty hardboiled egg
checking email reading of my mom's trip
to the outlet mall in San Marcos
buying clothes for my sister's baby
due in July
checking another false xanga that everyone
believes and cries over
contemplating another game of Literati
while my purple fingernails dry
wondering why so much sent out
is never returned
I feel suddenly
like puking myself up
puking again and again
like I'm pregnant
and rushed to the ER
for puking up Big Red dye and communion
puking like everything that is in me
has to go.
