Fine China

?I have this tendency to shake profusely?

On first dates?

And tear up napkins underneath?

The table,?

As I struggle to come up something to say

 

Sometimes, perhaps even often,

I am not nice at all?

I am as bitter as the coffee rinds

Of the coffee I forgot to drink

This morning

 

Often I am upset

For the stupidest of reasons

I punch couches,

Or break things I shouldn’t,

Like the fine china we had been

Saving for a special occasion.

The shards on the floor only remind me

What I have broken,I cannot

fix.
