Rape Doll
Chris Butler
Used thrift-store
play thing, empty
staring through round,
brown, buttoned eyes,
is hot glued and blind,
with dry fibrous skin
chafing without spit,
like my unbendable
appendages sparking
static against the
stained shag carpet,
as fresh orifices form
from cigarette burns,
indecently exposing my
white cotton insides.
But hiding behind
this stitched smile
of repressed denial
leads me nowhere
except the washing
machine bleeding
bottles of bleach,
just to be tossed
in the vacant corner
when it’s all over.
