Day 5 (take 2)

 She was an extraterrestrial

in normal clothes. She stood

in a corner, her back facing away,

bent over. Are you ok,

someone said, are you ill?


She began to cough and cough,

hand to her chest , other resting

on the wall, her whole body

leaning into it as though she

was exorcising demons of


some kind. She was 

watching a thing happening

she was allergic to it,

made her sneeze and choke

till finally that thing 


exploded from her mouth- pow pow

like bullets, or a baby,

gunpowdered butterflies,

a wet bird, a dogbark, a grief,

a piece of meat


the laugh
