Not Now – By: Bri Griffith
By Editor Kyle January 12, 2018Mikayla hands me a shot of Tequila and asks,
Aren’t you happy to be alive?
I say, Yes, swallow the burning
liquid, and try not to think
about the box cutter
in my back pocket.
Mikayla hands me another shot,
but before I can down it, she sinks
her teeth into my bottom lip,
and I remember the box cutter
like a bad dream—I think,
no. I think, not now.
