Pretty Boys Are Poisonous: Poems by Megan Fox

---

“Our therapist asks us to close our eyes imagine ourselves old and at the end of our lives. He asks is this, your beloved, the person who’s holding your hand as you die? Eagerly you say yes. Yes it’s me holding your hand it’s sunset and I’m there smiling weeping as i release you after our very long and joyful life together back to the universe now it’s my turn to answer i realize that no it’s not you holding my hand as i die it’s a nurse named Cathy because you stopped at a bar to listen to a bunch of college girls tell you that you grew up listening to your music they tell you you’re a legend your eyes sparkle as you live through their giggles and lip gloss and now i take my last breath with fucking Cathy she will not smile she will not weep she will check the time as her shift ends in eleven minutes.” The ghost of Christmas future • Meghan Fox
