The Worst Thing

Slurping up the last of my frozen yogurt,

I overhear someone say,

‘Being a Siamese twin has got to be

The Worst.

Thing.

Ever.’

And no one laughs

because it’s not a joke.

It’s just meant to be very sad and

very true.

Yet

I can think of

one hundred things

worse than

living alongside Tippi,

than living in this body

and being who

I have always been.

I can think of a thousand things worse.

A million.

If someone asked.
