A Short Story about the Long Intestine

 

when I was a toddler 

My father was six foot four 

a towering angry tree with a deep voice

who I rarely saw


I inherited his tall man intestine 

stuffed into my child body


When I became 16

My mother wanted my intestine surgically shortened

A colostomy for no reason

except her own
