Eve Kenneally
Spring 2016 * Oh, Isn't This Lovely after Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf don’t you know anything : we have guests she’s a housewife : she buys things ungrateful phrasemaker : I have more teeth than you I swear if you existed I’d divorce you never mix never worry Daddy knows how to run things rubbing alcohol for you dear? give me Richard Burton ’s sweater I need a cigarette holder flat in a huckleberry bush blue games for guests I am the earth mother hip-happy she hasn’t changed for me in years have you kept your body : conversation moves to muscle : you don’t need guns do you baby he began to laugh yes, I do wish to be happy it steadies me so what a terrible thing to do with Martha’s snapdragons oh my god I think I understand this * |
