the fatal skin
peter unwin
i tried it once, i did, i threw the kids
into the trunk of the car and did
what mothers do in the news.
straight into the lake i went
with the kids in the trunk
and a copy of balzac's
the fatal skin on the car seat
beside me. in retrospect
i should have done it the other way
around, the kids beside me
and balzac in the trunk
but there is something about
a water-damaged book
that depresses me beyond belief.
in the end it didn't matter because
at the last minute i swerved
from the precipitous precipice
and went to the dairy queen instead
where the kids had a pralines and cream
milkshake and i sat on a picnic table
reading balzac and experiencing
what he calls an almost
feminine 1 for
oriental 2.
