Mr. Pinrubber

Mr. Pinrubber

counsels troubled teens 

at the local high school.

His wife is fat

and a little wrinkled 

and sad 

like their meek, 

old, 

dusty dog.

She has asthma, and when the

wind blows, uninterrupted, for a couple of days, 

the ambulance comes and

two men in white shirts 

struggle to load her

into the back of the truck.
