etching in appointments

By KC Wilder

i'd like to fit
    your screaming terrors
into my schedule —
    i've got seventeen reptiles on my calendar
everything is strange and absurd for me
         all week—
but i think i can take
     your worst punishment on tuesday—
              how bout 8 in the morning
           while my eyes are knitted closed?
