She was a dumb bug a cockroach who did not know if Tuesday was Tuesday so final was my negative image of her that when she arrived I stamped upon her and felt certain that it was white liquid which squished out of her rather than warm red blood.
Irwin R. Shaw - August 1984
Warm Red Blood
She was a dumb bug
a cockroach
who did not know if Tuesday was Tuesday
so final was my negative image of her
that when she arrived
I stamped upon her
and felt certain
that it was white liquid which squished out of her
rather than warm red blood.
