i. mark
the breeze off lake erie blisters bowling green’s student body. subsidized, downgraded, pins probe the flaky overgrowth like fingers of inflated latex condoms. mark was a guy i knew in college. he blew a balloon over his head. he got his stomach pumped during new student week.
ii. andrew burger
andrew burger lived next door. he was a soft boy who shuffled home after school like a penguin and rolled into his mother’s ruff like a cracked egg. as an adult, andrew is unhappy.
he breaks bottles in the garbage can.
he lies down on the sidewalk and lets the ants carry him away
piece by piece.
