Wrought & Found | [PANK] Posted: 13 Nov 2013 06:00 AM PST Original poems and found images ~by Mia Sara *** Buyers Remorse   I ordered it, this stark white box. I called it, and so it came. Over seas, through air, shuttled up hill in the back of a van. I could say it's a bag of onions, or a small haunch of veal, maybe even a thanksgiving turkey, but, I know better. I put my ear to its walls. The dummy leather gives nothing away, Its wide maw muzzled with tape. I wonder if it hurts. I wonder if it's mine at all. The shape is familiar, but the name escapes me, like waking up to find that sleeping stranger in your bed. Do I feed it, fuck it, or eat it whole? Devour the evidence of my transgression. But what if this is it, the phantom limb, curled like a kitten in crinkly black tissue? Has it ached for me too? Will it still fit? Will it be angry, having come so far in a dark box? Maybe it will bite my nose. I paid for it, so it must belong to me. Will I open it and risk the fall? The big reveal of the same tired show-girl, dressed to kill in her brand new shame. Or, first thing tomorrow, send it back from where it came? FedEx machina. *** Mia Sara is an actress and poet living in Los Angeles.
