Wed Poem: The Scream in the Bell Jar

Sad, tired, lanky girl, Tried to write and channel
Her anger, her agony, her love
Onto pages, but they kept on
Sliding off the page of heavy bonded
Paper, while
Slippery tears and jilted reviews from dirty men
With bad teeth annoyed her,
Crying babies taunted her,
Ghosts poked her,
Until she turned on the gas,
Sealed the cracks, and
Drfited away to a place were her pain
Disappeared.
