MILDEW

I was standing in the bathroom 
in a sea of baking powder
devising the inevitable poem 
for the inevitable day
about being girl-in-world.

Gwen Stefani.

The moldy smell 
that's almost like currants
the way my sweat was in college
how the half wet towel 
smells now.

Basically we were just making each other mad.

I gave you water in a mug
we barked about 
taillights, tolerance,
about speeding down 
Rainer Avenue.

But that's not what I meant at all.
