poem then goes on to establish the sins of the narrator’s life in humorous, extreme way.
Opening the poem, the narrator calls herself “a bit of a masochist, not much of a singer,” instantly revealing important details of her character. These details, however, seem relatively common for an ‘ultra-confession’. In lines two and three she begins to find the faults of her life, stating, “My father did not think enough of me to molest me,” pretending she suffered because of this. From this experience she claims to have “lived with the shame of it and did not have the energy to create multiple personalities or develop an eating disorder,” further infusing the poem with an ironic tone. We instantly learn of the sense of humour she is implying in this piece by making ridiculous claims about suffering in her adolescence when the denotative message of her words is that she did not, in fact, suffer at all. She romanticizes the concept of an eating disorder, calling it “a pleasant way to while away the day,” again using humour to establish that she is an unreliable narrator with her share of delusions.
Discussing her smoking indulgence, the narrator admits she smoked so much in her teenage years she had a permanent headrush, where she was wrapped in an “opalescent carapace of fog,” and “on the verge of swooning,” at all times. This is an interesting metaphor for a smoking headrush, as it describes an abstract feeling in a concrete, visual way. From here the poem transitions from the ironic tone which shone through in the first stanza to an ordinary narrative. Using metaphor to discuss the role shoplifting played in her adolescence, she names it the “sex glue” of these young years.
