Tiptoe

Ani Difranco

Tiptoeing through the used condoms

strewn on the piers of the westside highway

sunset behind the skyline of Jersey

walking toward the water

with a fetus holding court in my gut

my body hijacked

my tits swolen and sore

the river has more colors at sunset

than my sock drawer ever dreamed of

I could wake up screaming sometimes

but I don't

I could step off the end of this pier

but I got shit to do

and an appointment on tuesday

to shed uninvited blood and tissue

I'll miss you

I say to the water, to the son or daughter

I thought better of

I could fall in love with Jersey at sunset

but I leave the view to the rats

and tiptoe

back.
