Scribbled in the margins

When Mary was a little girl she would go out to play

but she couldn't breathe. The air is toxic here.

the other kids would laugh at her and lead her far astray.

"One injection and you can escape from reality."

But Mary was sweet and Mary was nice so by the end of the day,

her mouth could no longer form the word "no"

the other children left Mary alone and went their separate ways.

It's just another gravestone. Nothing to cry over.
