If there is a Museum of Broken Relationships
by Rachel R. Baum
why not a Store of Undesirable Merchandise?
a Café of Inedible Meals?
a Cinema of Unwatchable Films?
a School of Forgettable Knowledge?
a City of Unliveable Neighborhoods?
a River of Inevitable Drownings?
a Mountain of Unlucky Hikers?
a College of Unemployable Majors?
on the Road of Imminent Accidents, why are the guardrails blue?
