I’ll Eat Your Angst

Kyle Hemmings

    At bus stops, or with our backs to antique shops, Zin & I dare each other to swallow Buttercups whole. Seemingly, not a big deal. But no chewing, she reminds me. The thought of sugar dissolves me. My throat tightens. You’ll see. I tell her. I can still make distress signals with one hand. We hit Central Park, maybe play games in a row boat, sitting in the lap of the water, so still & greyish. Somewhere, mothers are dying. Zin’s been feeling empty since this guy from her World Religion class went too far with her after a party off campus. She said she was too drunk to fight him off, but now all she does is fight with herself. I try to keep her distracted: Baker Street puns, anecdotes about celebrities in tight shoes, the latest Indie flick at the Mercer Theater. James Franco is involved in a scandal with Wyona Ryder. She doesn’t buy any of it; her eyes are boats adrift, blue sails down. She announces that she will dive into the water, clothes & all, just to get a reaction from strangers, just to see who will save her.
