You like your meat red \u2013 not pink \u2013 red.

I look at the orange curled writing on her name badge and I sound out the letters with my red tongue on the back of my yellowing teeth. I look at her deep indigo bra strap teasing out from under her grey and red striped uniform. I look at your sweat-pink hand on the creased beige napkin dotted with drooping violets that mops up the red slobber from your mouth and I wonder if you wipe your mouth that way after you have been between her legs and I feel green bile in my pink throat, not at the thought of you and her. Just at the thought of you.
