Emma, 1/30

it felt exactly as hollywood had led me 
to believe: the simultaneous horror
and disbelief, a cosmic joke nearby, lying 
in wait. Dear Creative Monstrosity, 
if you wanted to know if I would pray 
to you while swallowing death, 
we now have our answer. how ironic
that some god would speak through
such unsteady hands, an amateur puppeteer
dancing a whittled marionette. tell me,
what did you do when I became a real girl?
when my wooden jaw learned 
to scream?
