Don’t Talk to Me or My Bed Ever Again

don't talk to me or my bed
by Rachel Tanner

Sunday is the lord’s day and the lord
is my bed. I stay here, wrap
myself up, stretch my limbs out
like a starfish. There is no one else here
to take up room that is rightfully mine.
Mine mine mine mine mine. 
My bed is a table. It’s a desk. It has
crumbs in it from who-knows-when
and I don’t give a fuck. I make my
bed. My bed makes me.
