You have my permission not to love me. I am a cathedral of dead bolts & I'd rather burn myself down than change the locks.

'maybe this will explain my taste in men' by Rachel McKibbens from Blud.

Transcript:

When Dad busted my face open I got to stay home from school, watched cartoons all day like a goddamn king.

Dad called in sick, icing his damaged fist with frozen peas & meat. Overheard him on the phone with his boss:

Broke my hand yesterday playing ball with the kids. Can you believe it? I caught a fastball, no glove. My own damn fault. I’ll get those blueprints to you tomorrow morning, first thing.

Poor Dad. When he hung up he squeezed my shoulder & winked. Just after lunch, there was a knock on the door.

I peeped through the blinds with my one good eye, saw a blonde in a nurse’s uniform.

Dad opened the door & howled as she sang him a high-pitched song, bending at the waist to show off her tits.

At the end of it, she handed him a catcher’s mitt with a get-well card.

The boys at the office sure look after me! he roared, shaking his head in disbelief then handed me the remote so I, too, could know love.

#poetry #rachel mckibbens #this singlehandedly made me want to shoot myself #then handed me the remote so i too could know love... who's arranging my funeral lads
