A MAGAZINE OF MICROFICTION
On Thursdays
Mikki Aronoff
We old women on Thursdays go. Hand in hand we go. On Thursdays to bingo our bones do go. To daub and gossip and donut in church basements. To pinch toddlers smearing grape
jelly on stockinged legs under tables. To pinch and smack toddlers and gossip and donut
and daub and ogle the green-eyed caller. To escape our dry men’s moans we go. To forget
our children who’ve already left home. The children, the donuts we sigh. They’re gone,
we go. To jump the gun, blackout, and split the pot we go.
