DEFORMED
by Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
The old cow
bit my finger
clear to the bone.

You need to
see the damage
she did to me.

I can't write,
type, or pick up
a hair brush now.

I wish you'd
prosecute her.
I want her dead.

If it didn't
hurt this bad, I'd
slap her face off.

Look at what
the old cow did.
I am deformed.
