She stays up for hours and hours watching the news and sending emails. A couple of bites from oboists, but dammit more nibbles than bites. She can see this had been a weak approach. It presented itself too much as an offering, requiring assessment. Wanting approval. Look, world, at these pages: they speak for themselves. But they can’t. She knows better than to think that skills are securities. She must overstep the process of evaluation, take the worth as a given, conceal her signature’s sex. Researching a thousand things, she doesn’t feel in the slightest bit tired. Because she skipped her evening run.

Why, though, had mentioning the mother had the same effect as that dog leash to the face? Surely he sees her every time he looks at the twins and slides his thumb along their upturned noses. Remembers the lovemaking of which small humans had been the upshot. Is it that the Bible rebukes their unwedlocked existence? Hadn’t he been pardoned? That’s the kind of thing Jarleth could see to. Make a large enough donation to heaven.

When she gets up to piss and wash her face in the fugue of night, she throws a cotton pad in the wastebasket and sees it. The long, elegant incisor. Its single root slick with bloodstained saliva. Its enamel pure and intact as a principle – no sign of a crack. It is not a baby tooth.
