that’s between you and your god

and me and my 

teenage mutant ninja turtles

because what you did to me

i forced them to learn

smashing plastic bodies together

donatello wrestling raphael

leonardo pinning down

both bebop and rocksteady

and me confused 

from figuring out 

why their cowabunga sneers 

suddenly felt so empty to me

and why their frozen faces reveal

a pain that even undressing 

april o’neil won’t fix
