Why Did You Order An Assault Rifle
My AK-47 will arrive sometime today.
I am horrified.
Why did you order an assault rifle?
To hunt.
To hunt what?
Deer.
I stare at her.
Wild pigs?
I glare at her.
People? She says slowly.
I wait in hiding for the package to arrive.
Snatch it off her porch and smash that Ak-47 up into tiny pieces.
It is not easy, but I have a hatchet, a machete and an iron will.
My grandma is in the throes of dementia.
I doubt her home health nurse will return
if she gets plugged in the face with an assault rifle.
I took grandma’s credit card too.
The only thing I could not get was her car keys.
She has them attached to her chastity belt with a ring.
