11

you were not a woman
or jesus or a dinosaur
you were not burning books
you did not believe in ghosts

you have not seen the apocalypse
why aren't you sharing the bagel

you were not rollover minutes
you were not hole punches
you were not laying in the grass and your shoulders were not a machine

The quilt watched E.R. for seven straight days. George Clooney was getting very personable with a curly-haired nurse's feminine mystique. After three days of E.R. reruns I went to stay at my grandparents. Me and my grandfather ate hardboiled eggs and oatmeal in the morning. One morning I asked why my mother turned into a quilt. He ignored the question and asked my grandmother if the rash on his forearm was poison ivy.
