Red Sweater

fiddles and cakes
bitches and flakes
a hand scrubbed hard
with lemon scented lard
in a kitchen with black and white tiles
and one red tile
Coca-cola signs over the sink
all retro and shit
dreaming of showtimes,
a man-sized girl
sitting in a thin steel chair
pasta slipped through the stovetop coils
burnt black
don't look back
eating alone
with a cat
still in her work clothes
jewelry on
she'll make the Disney dream fit
