Monday Night at Bernie’s

We drive to Columbus after
the storm, Scott and Niki in the front.
I’d seen her before but never heard
her voice. She sleeps, arms wrapped
around the back of the seat and I see a scar
on her forearm. She cut herself two years ago or
got sliced climbing over a barbed wire fence at the age
of twelve. I stare out the back window at the sunset
chiseled from stone. “After Beth I was all about this girl for
awhile, but nothing came of it…not even my dick,” Scott muses
straight faced as his eyes juggle cars.

Ah, fuck it here’s your love song.

After the show we wait for the crowd to clear, heads on arms
on a sticky bar table. I stare at the wires in the ceiling and marinate
in watered down conversations. The personals we’d read earlier
become animated in the drunk single white male floundering from girl to girl to
a pug dog named Bart. Niki speaks two stools over, syllables making the ring
through her septum sway: “He’d told me he was a chosen child of God sent to Earth
to do good and I came, an evil messenger, straight from Satan to cut off his wings. He
said he wanted his virginity back.”

Sometimes lonely hearts, they just get lonelier.
