The Calendar stayed the same
The month of January always showed
Allthough she knew it was June -
Or July
with the 90-degree weather outside
but she stayed inside
Only in her room
Away from people
Away from time
She could still hear them all,
the birds that sang in the morning
the people that argued at night
The landlady was a dissgusting fuck
She was all hips
So big, her hips, looked like
she swallowed an old sail boat
forever she would rock up and down the creaking stairs
Sometimes, she would knock on the quiet girl's door
for rent -
and also to make sure the quiet girl was still alive
Suicide is bad publicity
The quiet girl was, of course,
Dead
by anyones standard
the only progress is staring at a wall
with a calendar on it
January is such
a funny word
Fucking hilarious
All the quiet girl knew
was that
the two months she had stared
at the wall
went by much quicker
than two days at that hell
the brick rusted hell of college
Drunk students
Bitter teachers
staring at the wall was far more satisfying
And when that final day came
when that fat woman's knock
was not met with a response
the fat woman sighed
in annoyance and dissgust
Suicide is bad publicity
