(this is a true story, though I'm unsure of it)

on the schoolbus a friend put salt in my hair
the seats were green                                                  maybe it was all indoors
many drivers different years -
then ran his hand through my hair
and the salt fell and fell                                                  did it happen at all
been falling ever since
eew he said
and I think,
when my eyebrows flake,
or my ears leave layers under my fingernails
if he hadn't thrown salt,
would I now be dissolving
