I have rage for dinner.
I swallow my rage, but it keeps coming up. Like a throw up that needs to let out. It tastes like winter in New York: Long. Lonely. Dreadful. It feels like summer in New York: Sticky. Fuming. Bothersome. I have rage for dinner on a gold platter and my grandmother's silver spoon. I sip it gently so it doesn't burn my tongue, but for no use: I am eating fire. Unbearable. Harsh. Memorable. I think about Anger and how milder it tastes compares to this. I think on how evolved I had become - that I can swallow rage whole. I finish my meal. Leave a leftover, to remember me by. A shred of my shriek, of my piercing eyes, my hoarse voice. Anything that says 'Rage was here.' To leave a mark. Sign my name. Be infinite.
