empty wallet

these phone calls go on for hours
the transfer music as maddening
as the frustration hiding behind every cheery voice.


and I chafe
against every surface of the world
and I fester
like an open sore
with a number in my bank account that makes me weep.


"thanks for your time," she says
and I see her in my mind, with fangs overhanging a plump lip
sucking the life out of me.


But in the end, it will be the bitterness that kills my heart,
not the vampires organizing my health insurance paperwork.
