Pina Colada

Behind her veneer of social proximity and sexual propriety, she is an insecure, dislocated individual, and aging small town girl who lives in a state of perpetual panic about her fading beauty. Her manner is dainty and frail, and she sports a wardrobe of showy articles, the cheapness of her clothes is seen as metaphorical symbols of her mental condition. She begins to drink heavily, conjuring up the notion; the old flame, a millionaire is imminently planning to take her away.

Banana Split.

She slips into the bathtub and raises her arms;
Literally surrendering to the emotional anguish.
Her kitten jumps up to drink from the water,
and she doesn't even bother to push her away.
There's nothing like hearing that boys voice on the reciever,
and she cringes from the chills and her fever.
Her headache persists from the ticking of the clock,
one heavy repetitive stroke after another.
It's only afternoon and she's already waiting for the afternoon,
It'll be the promise of glory in the form of a sunrise.
