as I stuff clothes into bags.

I'm leaving this

nightmare town.

Judy walks into my room.

The smell of alcohol

finally rids my senses

of that cologne.

"What d'ya think yer doin?"

Her words are slurred

like a dropped snowcone,

and her yellow teeth

are the dirt that mixes with it.

"Leaving.

Goodbye."

I grab my bags

and push past

her rotted being.
