A Disembodied Hand Doomscrolling on the Wall of Tia Maria’s Barbecue
- not Daniel 5
Tiffany was treatin’ the girls to barbecue The merry ol’ girls from her bowling league (Dazzling team colors in pink and blue) She had made herself captain through cruel intrigue
When suddenly a disembodied hand Appeared with a smartphone by the restroom door And keyed strange lines that in flickerings scanned: “You’ll be sacked this evening - your team’s 0 to 4”
That very night Tiffany’s custom ball was taken And she cried in her trailer, her heart a-breakin’
