The Refrigerator Poems

Slave

In her first video, she dressed up like a private school girl.
Everyone was her for Halloween
even on progressive college campuses.
People lost their virginities that night.
She had beautiful legs and an ass that was featured in magazines.
After kissing a woman on stage,
she said it wasn't her idea.
She was sort of game for anything.
Men asked her if she liked it and she said she did.
She was beautiful. Her skin was rubbed
with some kind of glittery lotion.

After her divorce,
she said she had this feeling in her chest
that wouldn't go away.

There was an ex-boyfriend, the one we think
she really loved, who wrote her a letter.
Tears streamed down her face
in the rehab center where she read it.
Her hair was gone then. You could really see her face.
