lives with the irascible ghost of her maternal grandmother
has only really enjoyed sex twice in a moving hotel elevator
irons her clothes in the dark to avoid domestic boredom
enjoyed a few drinks with Luis Buñuel; nothing came of it
crucified a hamster as part of a school theology assignment
uses green tea leaves and strawberries for birth control
measures her success by the depth of her nemeses’ grief
