Scenarios: 2 Men – 2 (Teen) Girls

high on every rum that the bar had to supply
the two of them staggered through their conversations

before stumbling on a body right outside home.
terry, transfixed, kneels before the body and wails.
marc, unsure how to act, repeats after terry.

the two had so far identified the body:
to terry it was marc; skin like bark of a tree.
face enlarged and fingers as large as water pipes.

to marc it was terry; as angry as can be.
an effigy, a motionless dancer. wryly
aggrieved. as if to attack back even in death.

how they both died in each other’s eyes, the rum way.
