Margaret Ray
Fruit of the Knowledge of Good and Evil! at the Public Pool

Two small girls are playing Apple Store.

They pretend an invisible force pushes them

into the pool and ruins their invisible iPhones.

Who is doing this to us!? one of them cries

as they haul themselves out to enact it again.
