Tiny Opera
~ for Page Loudon
Telephone rang shoe buckled
bicylebicycle clickclickclick crashed I attempted a deep squat my leg skittered out behind me I pulled myself up hanging onto an embarrassing item
yelped I’m okay I’m okay to no one tweet tweet sang the goddamn birds
meow said the useless orange cat even baby orca pushed her giant head out of
the water and giggled (I’m lying about that part) I cursed the garbage truck rumbling
by in the valley above those fucking noisy animals my son said you’re too
old for this then I pretend murdered him with a switchblade comb and ketchup
blood.
The End.

What IS that oh-so-human reaction to leap up from a fall and wave a bloody hand insisting, "I'm fine, I'm fine!" ?
You're not too old for that. I fell off my bike all the time when I was but a child.
I do that “I’m ok” a lot myself. I also tell
Myself I’m too old for this shit”
