They’ll Wash Me From The Grill Like A Fly

They’ll Wash Me From The Grill Like A Fly

I toe the road
Waiting,
I have my first ever kiss
Blood knotted in my heart
And mind.
I flirt with each vehicle
That passes:

Which one?
Which one?
Which one?
Will apply me,
Like a smudge of heated lipstick
To its teeth?

Eighteen years more than I wanted or asked for.
This wont hurt.
