I took my Vitamin B
every morning.
But my teeth chattering anemia
was relentless.
You told me “Cold is a mentality,”
but my teeth continued
to chatter like one of those toys
you twist, that teeter across
the table. If cold is a mentality
doesn’t that mean
quite literally everything
is a mentality? Hating
you is a mentality,
the same way
loving you
was one too.
I took my Vitamin B
this morning. I’m less cold
now.
Cold was your mentality.
