Default

BY CAROLINE BERGER

Still
a
flare of anger

an
ache
of loss

a
phantom limb
feeling

whenever

she

reads

he

the default pronoun

striped of its
beautiful
ess
curves.

    I enjoyed the simple elegance of Default. It lifts the she without demeaning the he. Bless you for that.

Got something to say?
