Thumbing Our Paws

Location

The gas station clerk gave us milk (like a mother).

Donuts were seventy cents each, but we stole them.

Seventy is a number with slim, bony hips.

We tightened our belts for sixty.

Our abridged intestines creaked collectively.

Scrappy ears like lapdogs.

Clumsily scrathed heads.

Us two. 

Fed.
