a woman scorned

i see her in line

at the liquor store,

she's

furious over

the election, she blurts out

that all

men

should be aborted in the womb.

she's shaved

her head in protest

and talks about moving.

Maybe Italy,

or Timbuktu.

i say nothing.

being a man,

i'm well aware

of what a scorned woman

can do.

i gently ask her what if

it's fraternal

twins.

is there a way

to separate and kill one

too.
