Take Away
July 8, 2016
Another box of chow mein
Another box of fried chicken
Third box of pizza
Fifth glass of wine
Two fingers shoved into my throat
Second time to the bathroom
Six vomit stains in the carpet
An hour of tears
A glass of dissolved laxatives
Four hours on the toilet
Ten hours of sleep
One call
Six courses of Indian take away
Two deserts
Three main meals
One entree
Two fingers shoved into my throat
An hour of tears
Thirty-two pills
Two calls
One ambulance
Two paramedics
One delivery boy
Four boxes of pizza
