Malc held the gunshot wound
the way people hold a kitten
in photos on Facebook.
On Facebook, he tagged
the ragged mess 'Gunshot Wound'
in an album called 'Ouch!'
Eyes rolled like golem cogs.
That night, at the pub,
he was still clutching it,
wads of gauze
as pink and limp as raw bacon.
'Fancy another one?' Chris said.
'No thanks,' Malc went,
'on account of my getting shot this morning,'
and we all shared a meaningful look.
