Agent 139 hung up the phone and tried to go back to sleep.<br />

HOW<br />

can I be certain? I close my eyes and try to forget. Try not to remember<br />

(And, there is no ownership of flesh.) How many times a day do I<br />

have to go through this? She said…no good. Shut up and move the pillow.<br />

Crick in the neck. Slender neck, pale skin. Howdohowdohowdo: I<br />

stop this and try to remember her smiling. Tension builds to a breaking<br />

point. Fists clenched. Backs off right before the tears come.<br />

(No, that isn’t her at all.) I’m dedicated. Her, Briar Thorn. It begins<br />

with him on top. Turn over. Just go to sleep. An onion, was it? Keep<br />

peeling the layers. No center, just masks. An ontological crisis clothed in<br />

this? It’s all about<br />
