SHE TOYED
WITH THE VOODOO
DOLL AND PRICKED
HER FINGER, CURSING
THE PRICK THAT HAD RIPPED OUT
HER BEAD-BEAN HEART.

HAIR. LOSE MIND (SHE ALREADY HAD).
CAR TOWED. LOSE MONEY. SLUGS}
SHE WISHED IT ALL ON HIM.
SHE SIGHED, BLEEDING THUMB STAINING
THE DOLL WHICH LOOKED MORE LIKE HER.
AND TOOK OUT THE PINS.
{CLEAR SKIN. NEW CAR. GET JOB. KITTENS.
ECSTASY. FIND GOLD. FIND KEYS.
ACCEPTANCE. LOVE}
SHE RE-PINNED, JUST
DARING MANIFESTATION
FROM THE UNIVERSE.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
