Disclaimer: altho ‘me’ in the title is ‘me, the author’ in the body of this poem ‘me’ is the Mug and ‘she’ is the author.

time broke down. a ‘do you’ shattering.
to me, every sit is knocking

at red pulp and gum’s door, all pieced
together; over-ripened. house beans

like the regional council’s lake project,
tiles covered over, and flecks thru her dusty curly

sweaty snake-neck
mullet. dyke-isms. she wears a gilded bowl like a hat,

shouts ‘hat!’.
