as I stared at the day of the week that was written in red ink

______A black shadow fell on the documentation for grep
(that without my glasses I had mistaken for the rough draft
of my In Flight Magazine feature on _____varieties of German sausages.)

on the crotches of their black elastic bathing suits.

"Nevermind, she doesn't have any tits,"

______Wednesday.
