Tuesdays and Magic
She wonders.
If I did.
Forget the dishes, dishes, dishes.
There are sharp knives, that get sharper.
Dirty water.
It’s always Tuesday when I get cuts on my fingers.
We never have bandages, I don’t know why.
The knives and I fight like this.
I make everyone mad.
Tuesdays are when I go to work.
Tuesdays are when.
Events are connected like that.
I promise.
I get a cut on my hand.
But that makes me invincible for the day.
People are nicer, they don’t stare as much.
I avoid a cascade that way.
I write on paper, not the wall.
They hate the wall.
I prevented a car accident that way.
The fan blows the pages around.
If the pages were money, the earth would explode.
Instead, I’m happy for once.
I knew it.
What?
It’s Tuesday, so I knew it.
