Jeffery was a football player. He would torment me daily.

 A  short story   

One  

I moved out.  

I was beautiful and loose.  

I intended on hurting.  

I couldn’t even begin to pronounce her last name.  

She had taken everything.  

Her thinking was clever and gorgeous, a most self‐centered human.  

I cried the first time I found out.  

I cried for days.  

Two 

You must go here and make sure you go there.  

I think you’d love it where they run free and mess up during the night.  

Three  

You are too wonderful.  

And because of your location, I wouldn’t want you anywhere else.  

I can have people splurge for parties and sex.  

I bought everything.  

I went along and out.  

Touching me on the side.  

Realize she won’t ever be me.  

I was dreamy and so damn feminine at times it made my neighbor sick to her  

stomach.  

Four  

She thought big and dreamed of getting big.  

I would tell her that in order to ever be wanted or appreciated, you must cut your  

nails, hold your tongue and imagine the world doesn’t eat shit.  

She didn’t listen.  

I was mortified.  

I wanted her to get off of that fucking horse she had been riding.  

Give me some drooling benefit.  

Instead she soaked up all praise.  

It was righteous and ugly.  

I could’ve spit.  

I could’ve cut my hands off, with no regrets. 

I instead played it off, went up stairs, and tried making love to a boy who in fact was  

in love with his sister.  

Five  

I watched her as she tripped bringing in equipment to make us feel older.  

It worked.  

I felt like I was married.  

Married to the same boy who would secretly fondle his mother.  

Six 

It was too black.  

The most uncomfortable drive.  

I wanted it to end.  

I was a stabilizer for her pregnant phase.  

A house.  

I was her modern junk.  

Seven  

Trying to justify the young men in the room she soaks up.  

She places a head on his lap, while crooked teeth bite at her ears.  

What an awful person.  

Ungrateful.  

She pisses on my future.  

I think of his mouth and my eyes.  

I think of how much she is hurting him.  

I can’t do anything but get drunk and flirt and pretend.  

Eight  

The problem was she ended, wearing my soul, as a coat.  

I decide to let her bath in my humility.  

I take advantage of this.  

I continue, and I give birth.  

Nine  

Is that victory?
