Telling You Everything by Cindy Hochman

Telling You Everything

“Be brief and tell us everything.” —Charles Simic

I am all moan and bone and dangling participles. My body is hamstrung and jagged. I am a bellyful of barren. I am all chocolate bars and razor blades.

Telling You Everything (political version)

I am all moan and bone and dangling participles. My body is hamstrung and jagged. I am a bellyful of barren. I am all chocolate bars and razor blades. There was no collusion.
