Surging with Girls

I did not sign on to become a skeleton. For one thing, I don't

open the knocked-on door at precisely two minutes till

life had seemed to open and open. It was a wonderful thing.

It has happened before. Though these particular curative

parents never really know what's going on, especially when

somebody once told you that you were clever. Well clever

in cultures' eating their own dead: the practical, why-not model

was picking up things on the shelves, the little spice jars, the honey.

I just stand there mute as a stump. I should say something

about their business with the grim specter of media evisceration,

but you're picturing some witness stand to rush onto. How you'll

come up against problems in arranging funerals for their clients.

They stomped down the stairs, their voices echoing in the cement.

they are being asked to accept it by a transplant counselor who

vowed to cherish freedom if you won it, to take no breath for

never in a place long. Always going away, always coming back

holding this disconnected hand, and it's holding you back.
