by Rachel Rabbit

There are 10 empty treadmills at lunchtime.
Faux punk dude picks the one next to me,
Runs hard while I walk.
He’s there the next day, the next.
I had to quit.
The money I save can now go to the orphans, the rainforest.
More likely, TJ Maxx.

by Rachel Rabbit

$150/month -
I’ll guilt my body into obedience.
Shower’s nicer than my apartment.

Equinox II

Tell your nipples to stop staring at my eyeballs,
I’m trying to get this damn sports bra on.
You look really toned, I’m happy for you -
How much does it cost to look like that?
Underwear, towels, modesty:
Courtesies not extended here.

Color Selection: Overwhelming
Square or Oval: Who am I?
Cuticles: Cut or Pushed Back?
Hot Towel: Pleasure Sigh or Play It Cool?
Quick Dry Layer: That’ll Be an Extra Dollar
Later: gorgeous shiny buttons against my computer keyboard,
I ignore my work

Manicure I
by Rachel Rabbit

I’m not one of those women, you know, perfect blowout, iPhone, Paper Jeans -
I’m only doing this as a treat, a preemptive strike against anxious gnawing.
I don’t even have an iPhone.
We’re holding hands across a table,
Like lovers -
Did I talk too much? Not enough? I don’t know the rules.
I’m guilty, chastened, leaving a 40% tip.

Yeah, I drank too much at the Ergs show.
I called you the prime minister,
Punched a guy on Bedford, he laughed -
Chalk it up to PMS

They say that depression is anger turned inward.
Well my soul’s got a mirror now,
Bouncing that shit out to the world.

by Rachel Rabbit

Remember that loft with the trapeze?
Those boozy nights at Supper. (How did we afford that?)
You threw your shoes in the street when you were tired of walking
We had a PoMo TV stand and a wall of records from the trash
Brunch at 7A, waiting for our friends to get out of jail -
I listened to a lot of Elliott Smith in those days.

The Village scared the shit out of me for years
Even with that ending
The rapist in Twin Peaks—I think about him when I am home alone
Don’t even get me started on I Am Legend
Because then I will start thinking about the dog and cry my fucking eyes out
