ATHENA NILSSEN

Girl in Porn

This is a living room just like any other. 
Peculiarized just like any other. 
With a framed print of Redon flowers 
and a plastic red pepper wall clock.  

Last night she ate at Norms (egg sandwich, 
Pepsi, clam chowder), drew daisies 
and rats on the placemat while Llovio 
ate pancakes next to her in the booth, 

his face making the word scrofula 
with each bite. She watched the pies 
in rotation, happy to be real and present 
on Pico Boulevard. Her socks have 

ribs down the folds, a rough white cotton 
against her ankles. The discount silk flowers 
say this is happening somewhere (for real:
the imaginary hum of a refrigerator, slipping 

socks on the couch.) Demi-mondes scallop 
her bulges. Sweet Teen Fucked. Blond Girl 
Nailed. She had ordered a meal last night, 
combed her hair in the ladies’ room.
