i feel like i'm going to faint
she says to you
as you both hang onto the straps
on the subway
as it wobbles through
a tunnel, the lights going
on and off.
me too, I tell her.
i think my sugar levels
are too high,
or maybe too low.
all i had to eat today
was a scone and a cup
of coffee.
i had some yogurt this
morning, she says, and some
peanut butter crackers at my
desk for lunch with a
celery stalk.
someone brought in their
left over Halloween
candy and i think i ate
about five candy bars,
I tell her. feigning
throwing up, pointing
my finger towards my mouth.
do you have any with you?
yeah, a couple,
give me one. butterfingers?
yeah, i think so. might
have a chunky too.
I might even have a candy
apple if you want some fruit.
