Stickered tip to toe
Nothing fits, from dawn on through weary afternoon into still and sleepy dusk. I am out to visitors inside my own skin, since today I am an unwelcome guest myself.
Your face don’t fit, mate. You ain’t fackin’ comin’ in.
Frame cracked, smeared glass, imperfectly aligned and picture crooked. Up a bit, up a bit, down a bit, down, down. Yes. Just there. That’s it. No. No, you’ve lost it. Try again.
We could improve you with a snip, you know. Another snip, a tuck and a slice. We could tear you into jagged strips, rip you senseless, then lose crucial moments of your memory under the furniture, incinerate limbs in the ashtray, bleed your veins into screaming babies’ mouths, before trampling and scrunching your putrid leftovers into decomposing landfill under cover of night. Job done - a dirty one, but some unlucky bastard’s got to do it. We would be through by morning, ready to stick a red warning flag in any orifice you like, warning of poisons that may cause irritation and inflammation.
My hair is three sizes too loose. My scalp requires belting up. My cerebral cortex needs to be taken out back into a dark, wet alley and given a damn good kicking. My ears aren’t my own; never were, and never will be. My nose smells worse than it looks, my looks look worse through my eyes, and my eyes keep rolling out and falling into my lap at inopportune moments, coming to rest with one gazing heavenwards and the other praying desperately for a final resting place oozing between the floorboards. My fingers crack their knuckles menacingly, serving as a warning that my hands won’t ever stop itching for a chance to smack some sense into my face. My skin sweats, and a single drop of the sugar-salt moisture coaxes my tongue forth to taste. I am the living and dying, inhaling and exhaling image of a human-creature; a creature-human made flesh and bone.
From tip to toe and back again, nothing fits, nothing works.
