I was nervous about the date. I met him online. I put on lipstick. I didn’t like the color. I changed colors. I was now wearing crimson red. I drove to the restaurant. I found the table we reserved. The date went well. I brought him back home. Jim looked around. “Who are all these other men?” He asked. “My other husbands. Welcome to the clan. We can get married tomorrow,” I said. He tried to leave, but the door was locked. “Don’t worry, Jim, you’ll get used to it,” one of my husbands said.

Red River
I watched as the factory poured its chemicals and garbage into the river, turning it red. It made it look like the river bled. They didn’t care that an entire community depended on this water to drink, buy filters they said. The best filters in the world couldn’t fix this water. Import water, they said. That was expensive and most couldn’t afford that. The animals were dying too, so we organized a protest. We stood outside, and while some of us cried, the rest of us stopped anyone from entering until they shut the factory down. This is our town.
