B Mynor
for Kara
There’s a girl. She’s spending the night
in Manhattan. She’s originally from Ohio
and is only here on business. She’s pretty
and pretty young too; graduated
from high school just last year. She
has a tattoo she can’t see and
a boyfriend she doesn’t see that often;
it comes with the job. Her parents
can’t afford to fly her home. She has
a baby girl named Frida, after her
favorite grandmother. She graduated
in 2005 and she has a baby. She’s
too young for me to remember playing
with on the playground and now she’s
a porn star. She’s sleeping off a drug
overdose in Beth Israel but that
comes with the job. Her boyfriend’s
fighting for custody and she’s pretty
but her parents won’t fly her home from
the hospital. She’s too young for
the playground and she overdosed on
Crystal Meth and she has a baby.
There’s a capital F tattooed on her
shoulder for the from-behind shots
where you can’t see her face and it
reminds her why she’s putting
up with this Fucking Shit. She’s pretty
and she’s a porn star and she has
a baby turning 1 soon. But in 3 months’
time she’ll commit suicide with a
6 pack of razors and she’ll still be younger
than I am. She’ll kill herself and say
it’s an occupational hazard and she will never
leave the hospital but people will still
download her movies. She has a baby
but she doesn’t have custody but she
has a drug overdose but that’s
not why she can’t come home.
I keep repeating these facts on the
off chance I’ll screw them up and
like what eventually comes out:
Her name’s Krystal. She prefers Krissy.
She’s a Methodist. She graduated in
2005 from a high school in Ohio.
She’s pretty.
She can’t afford to have children,
so she won’t. She volunteers at Beth Israel
to be around them instead. She’s got
a new RAZR phone but can’t figure
out the voice mail. Her parents, her
parents are nice people.
