snow-white hair and coal-black eyebrows

she lived alone and didn’t do much around
the house

Ate TV dinners all day
and drank
and complained that she couldn’t sleep
at night

Had a pretty nasty case of
insomnia

What can you expect from a girl with
snow-white hair
and coal-black eyebrows?
some had said

Obviously they weren’t referring to
her insomnia
but her other mental issues
like being bipolar and depressed and
other such things

You could try to sleep with her and
the sex would be quick
and then you’d have to spend the rest of the
night listening to her
talk about recycling being actually
harmful for the environment

«Seriously,» she’d say. «People need to understand that
the stuff just gets shipped overseas
to third world countries
where it’s burned or dissolved in chemicals to
extract precious metals from it. That’s
how it works. And it’s harmful
for nature, harmful for everything and
everyone. People have no
awareness. They’re all so
damn selfish, it’s ridiculous.»

The last guy who fell asleep during
her speech
had his foreskin folded and
stapled shut

«Hit me!» she urged him. «Choke me
or fuck me up
but don’t you dare
ignore me again!»

Somehow she
never ran out of boyfriends
