This piece was written in response to
“One, two, three…”
Dude, she’s already dead.
“Four, five, six…”
Her face’s been gray for a while.
“Seven, eight, nine…”
Can’t see that?
“Ten, eleven, twelve…”
Cause I can.
“Fourteen, fifteen…”
Skipped a number there.
“Sixteen… Fifteen… Six, seventeen…”
Maybe start again?
“Seventeen… seventeen… eighteen…”
From the top?
“Twenty… twenty-two… twenty-four…”
Who are you really trying to save here?
“Twenty-five… twenty-six…”
You?
“Twenty-seven… twenty-eight… twenty-nine…”
Or her?
