Knots
by Diane Becker
She sees her first husband on the bathroom floor, ingrained in the wood. He is wearing shades, has curly hair and is riding a unicycle. Even though she knows he's not looking in her direction she covers him up with a magazine when she sits on the toilet. Though she's not talked to him in years, she thinks he would find this funny. Especially the unicycle bit.

Ya. I like. I like it that she covered him with a magazine.
Very memorable for such a tiny piece. Startling.
Thanks Steven - and Gloria. Much appreciate your comments.
Knots - like nuts, like seeds - a lot in a small space of words: relationships are complicated, even when they're over.
