Meg says, ‘Oh my God,
did you see his face, though?
Classic.’
And they all crack up laughing
like an army of idiots.
I know there’s nothing
I can do
to make them
more human,
but at least,
for once,
I didn’t stand and watch
like someone had his hands around
my throat,
stopping me from speaking
out.
For the first time in my life
I did the
right thing.
