What to Keep
The best-kept secret for spring cleaning has to be divorce. I’m here to recommend it, if you too married an abusive person with mommy issues. Simply drop that sorry sack out at the curb, et voilà, you may twirl your own apron strings and stand back in satisfaction. Breath in a big whiff of that fresh, lemony scent of bitterness.

The Dissolution
We sat down with the death certificates, our phones, the stack of mail, and their last notebooks. Late afternoon in the living room- if our parents had been there we would’ve had a round of various gin drinks, Dad briefly raising his eyes from his screen volunteering to shake. What he meant was that we’d fuck up his drink, otherwise. Gratefully however one whiskey neat and a beer were at hand; we were cheaply rewarded for shepherding to the door the few straggling visitors and abandoning the plattered remains of puckering hand sandwiches and curling celery sticks.
