…\\in the morning\\…
the sausages from the freezer were placed in
themicrowave((not to be microwaved
just to sittoslowlydefrost))
when it came to 5:46pm…
i took them out\finding them still firmly frozen
i pulled out the new pan
…((it’s smaller than the old one))…
they didn’t all fit nicely into two\\spooning rows of meat
the second row was
\\CROO//KED\\
//JARRING//
…i turned the gas flame on…
…and waited…
the clack clock of wooden feet filled the house\\pinocchio stared over my
shoulder…creaking
his hand pointed at the \\break\\ in the second row
and with (whistle) and (wheeze) he spoke
…that’s what my ribs looked like when they got broke…
…you don’t have ribs…,
i answered simply\he wheezed
…i don’t anymore…
pinocchio pressed the tip of his finger\UPON THE BARE SPACE OF FRY PAN
\\\I SHUT MY !EYES! TO THE \SMOKE\\\
…pushing my body into his (ohmygodno)…
…shove off i’m trying to cook here…
((he clacked away and lay on the the floor in the:?))
\\lounge room\\
(WHEEZING) and (WHISTLING) to the bats \trapped\
(…in the cupboards…)
