Intermission
Courtesy of Lee Rourke’s SPONGE!: I read this at this this year:
Dog
When I was a kid I was afraid of bees, so I caught them in glass cups and left them out in the sun to die. Sometimes I set them free before it was too late. Mostly, I didn’t.
Now I’m dragging a dead dog by the tail. I’m dragging her toward an apple tree under the full moon, because these are the three ingredients.
Dog, apple, moon.
That’s all it takes.
