The details in this one just cut you to the heart.
And the are angry
by Fiona Wright
and they apologise in all their emails
and they remember where they put their keys
and they buy vegetables and milk
and they’re assumed to be on birth control
and they write perhaps and arguably and in a sense
and they are sympathetic
and they have internal ultrasounds
and they carry band-aids in their purses
and they break big notes before they go to dinner
and they match their underwear
and they make pots of tea
and they sit narrowly on trains and buses
and they pretend to talk on phones when they walk home
and they run on treadmills
and they don’t interrupt
and they don’t ask for exceptions
and their disposable razors come only in pink
and the doctors ask if they feel anxious
and they desire
and they are angry.
