Doubles

Loss of face, loss of a finger ensues, and Sabina grates her teeth against the metal bar.

Grating her teeth, Sabina asks, "Am I invincible?"

Far away in the distance behind a cornroot tree, Sabina's half-sister, Moon, yawns, "Am I invisible?"

Sabina takes a bite out of the cake; Moon takes a smaller bite out of the same cake.

They both eat cake, the two half-sisters.

Where were their mother and the two half-fathers, or their father and the two half-mothers? They had no one to tell them.

Hand in hand, the half-sisters ask, "Am I invisible? Or am I invincible?"

Together, they sing in low, impossibly soft voices, "We are invincible. But also invisible."
