"DOG FROG GOD" and "Geena"

DOG FROG GOD

1. Dog.
The rain hit hard today
not in a sexy way
but like my boyfriend was
mad at me. I felt the tension
when I pressed my erection
against him, so I stole his car.
I went to get him dog food.
(not for him, for his dog)
 
Like all the best dogs,
he’s kind of a chihuaha
he has three legs,
one eye, hates children.
He sleeps on my face
when I am asked
to sleep on the couch.
 
I knew he was choosy
about the kind of food
he chews, I looked for
a red bag, for a small
breed, and a picture
of Rachel Ray. But
what feeds the dog
doesn’t appease the man
so I went to Saver’s
and bought him a frog.
 
2. Frog.
Frog of Forgiveness.
A ceramic frog
with a little chin
and stupid eyes
that scream
“Why are you mad
at me please don’t
be mad at me”
I thought about why.
 
I wasn’t there when
he needed my help
and I served myself
 
I went to self check out,
to purchase the frog
and a new pair of socks
just for me. I was prompted
to enter my phone number,
I tried to enter my partner’s
(Like I tried to enter him earlier)
so he could get three
cents off his next chachki
I thought I knew his digits in my heart
but I had to look at my phone.
Dear god.
 
3. God
If there is a god are they
one of forgiveness or
sre they a man?
Driving home and clearly
forgot my medication
my ADHD brain
drove me the wrong direction
the rain hit the windshield
like spit in my face
 
I turned around in parking lot
sfter parking lot, spinning
like a chimp on a tire swing
clutching dog food, socks, and frog
getting lost only thinking
that no frog in the world
could make him forgive me
if I crashed his car. I knew
 
The mistake I made. I could
have helped him, it was important
to him I could have paid more
attention, I could have paid
more attention to where I was
driving just now and I ended
up on a lawn and a group
of angry men, angrier
than my boyfriend, angry
like Titans to the Gods
brandishing weapons
coming at me screaming
“DON’T YOU KNOW HOW
TO DRIVE?” (no)
“YOU RUINED OUR GAME”
And then I realized they
were fucking GOLFING
(in the rain, clearly practicing evil)
I had driven onto the green.
 
I have never been so scared.

Geena

Geena was 6 foot tall
as a baby, and a pretty
mean waitress, her
elbows bent backwards
leaving her stuck
on a lingerie elevator,
Victoria’s Secret was
claws.
 
She drove off a bridge
with a Baldwin, not
god but a dog, sinking
her cheeks in the mud,
she stretched her face
pulled out her eyes
and scared away the ghosts
of the living.
 
Geena drove off a cliff,
with abandon, with Sarandon
who shot the rape out of a man still
standing, took a wild ride to Mexico
for life and ice cream,
helicopters chopped over
their heads with spinning legs
police shrieked
“stop”, dust and guns,
and men
not knowing
she said, “let’s keep going.”
