Ideas for drinking games: take a shot every time you undress
hoping that sex this time around will be more than just sex,
that you’ll shed your skin, and molt, molt, molt again
until there are only bones left to love
and for once those bones don’t hurt.
Add another slice of lime to your tequila and an inch of salt
each time you remember you’re just a body
that the first time you bled it wasn’t for beauty
it wasn’t for the eggs
It was to prepare you for all the other one-night stands
when men would shove you against the headboards so hard
that everything turned red again and you came away soaking wet
You were just practicing crash landings in the bedroom
the first day your menstrual cycle started.
The only thing it taught you was how to hurt together
instead of hurt alone.
How to fall in love sober: don’t fall in love at all.
You step into apologies the way a bartender steps in to break apart a barfight-
you know someone’s going to come away bruised.
Ideas for drinking games that will actually make you quit drinking:
stand on a rooftop beneath the moon and take a swig
for every second you don’t want to jump.
Swallow half a beer for every time you’re surprised
when you get hurt during sex
How not to get hurt during sex:
pretend it’s love
