Disorder
April 24, 2016
The girl stares
at the clock.
The girl trembles as
lunch is served.
The girl nibbles anxiously.
The girl gasps.
The girl stops but
she doesn’t want to.
The girl returns to the washroom.
The girl stares at her
reflection, or perhaps,
self-perception.
The girl pukes but throws up nothing.
