Cary Lynne’s most recent poem to appear here was “humour me . . . no?” (July 2016)
Sunday
By Cary Lynne
Just at that moment
the message machine came on
and Regina’s voice said
chicken’s in the oven and dinner’s at 3.
I had a commitment
I had forgotten
I removed the gun from my mouth
and went to get dressed.
