in this economy

by Ava Hofmann

 

this colony is like a stand-up comedy routine but you are sitting
down and i am not yet plotting to kill any senators. she and they
and i are what whatever is. you are walking in on a pop quiz
lying on my breasts lying on my body lying on the bed. this is
my apology and my apology for the guillotine in my teeth.
