he compliments god too much when he traces
my hips, tells me i taste like guilt and
cinnamon and says
i keep pushing you away but you keep
coming back
-

i don't show him the indentations his fingers
leave in my bones, don't tell him how
evolution keeps calling to remind me of my
expiration date that's fast
approaching-

just lay where i am and ignore
his praises of god,
wait til evolution saunters by
to take me off this goddamn
shelf where she'll replace me
with something better-

he's walking the lines of my body like a tightrope
and i hope to god he falls.
This is a hot mess. 

Actually.

It's probably just a mess.

The metaphor involving evolution may be inaccurate. Lol. Evolution solely meaning change  (actual meaning), but if refered to as the commonly associated natural selection I would have to say it is inaccurate. Just a minor detail though that stuck out, although I still wouldn't call it wrong. I guess in essence I would have perfected a "tighter" metaphor.
