the game of life

a couple of drinks too many
four of us are playing board games

Brian's car veers over to the child
space, where a convenient card awaits
him
"Congratulations on your baby boy!"
Yvonne asks, "Who's having your children?
Who's having your children if it's not me?"
she says it like she's joking
but also like her voice
is holding a knife to his
testicles

she's playing bored games

Brian says, "Uhhhhh..."

women always win
