tearing the rag off the bush again
The Big Joke PDF E-mail
by Elinor Nauen   
someone else entirely
who doesn’t mind
being
dead
or over there
the big joke
of all the small betrayals
is what they
add
up
to:
someone else entirely
who doesn’t mind
being
dead
or over there
or over
looked who doesn’t
mind
manners or rules or
the quick change
just out of sight
“her life” “your life”
might be sleeping lying
wait
for
the last betrayal
