Survival of the Fittest
nothing is ever out of sight

David LaBounty

she is talking
on the phone
and she says
that’s too bad
at least a
dozen times.

she hangs up

and tells you
that her thirty
year old cousin
in Wichita
has Lou Gehrig’s
disease and you
say how awful
and doesn’t
he have kids? and
the answer is yes
with another on
the way and you
shake your head
and both of your
faces turn to the
television that
is flickering like
a mutated candle
and it’s a rerun
of a sitcom from
a decade ago.

you both sit silently

until

you both start to laugh.
