"The Dirt on Everything"
By Dex
We’re all a little dirty
Scuffed and beat
in unattractive ways
Bent noses
and split lips
Sweat stains
on white shirts
found in wrinkled heaps
on floors that maybe
don’t belong to half of us

VetRep is thrilled to present “God of Carnage” by Yazmina Reza for the month of September. A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
