in prog

i came back into the world like
latino chokes out white beard hero

siciliane beside bed remind me: pakistani hash
by way of fresh slices each night

which is nothing like what we got back home
back home my pronouns are wrong

lill is 65 and works 40 hour weeks 
at the church of scientology for $3.50 an hour

jill is 63 and works in a law office
she defaulted on her student loans

i read her letters from the collections agency
skipped lunch to spend 30 minutes in the bathroom stall
