she was raped, but it was commonly held
had she a gun, she would not have got
raped. so, it was her fault, in a nutshell.
her husband was furious. why had she
refused to carry a gun, all these years?
and now, on account of her own
stubborness, her irresponsibility,
the one thing wholly beautiful and clean
about his wife had been ruined.
he kept a gun in his car under a plaid
blanket. didnt have time to reach for it
during a road rage incident where a man
driving beside him spat on his front door.
to work it out of his system he told her
he was working late and visited a whore.
