Gifts

by Meg Pokrass

Why wouldn't he want to make love to her, for God's sake? She could yodel, perform bird calls on cue, the way real birds understood them. Could fold a stained dishtowel into a hat, was gypsy-pretty, had a dog-friendly hatchback car that didn't smell. Was great at making people laugh about her ex-husband's phobias. Would say, "I loved him so much that I had to divorce him." So many gifts.
