every day for a year

you inexplicably
come across,
as you log
on to your computer,
a video
of a woman being
interviewed
online
about her having
sex every day
for a year
in order to rid herself
of her loathing
self image.
true story.
I want to be more
comfortable
about who I am as
a woman, she
says, smoking a
cigarette, blowing
the smoke
up into the hazy
air of her
bedroom. there
are circles
and bags under
her eyes.
her clothes are
torn, and she's pale.
there is a bottle
of wine
in her hand, and
a box of oreos
cookies on the bed.
in the background
you can hear
marvin gaye singing.
so what day are
you on, the interviewer
asks from
a remote
location.
day ten, she says,
peering
out the slats of
her bent venetian
blinds. okay. I have
to go now, the next
guy is here.
