story: “Now That the Circus Has Shut Down, the Human Cannonball Looks for Work”
author: Meghan Phillips
year: 2018
where: 我的办公室 (again)
note: This short short story has the punch at the end like contemporary English poetry. Maybe it has something to do with its length too; though it would not be mistaken for a prose poem.
a line: “He’s happy to be a reference, but he’s not sure how much weight the words of a clown will carry.”
