The well-used hands of the writer

Dregs

You’re degraded!

Oh, thank God!
I never got any grade
higher than F.

And you’re biodegradable!

Oh, good.
I’m still working on
my bio.

And you’re as low as you can get.

Not yet.
But thanks for flattering me.

I wasn’t trying to.
I was describing you.

Nice try.

At least give me the last word.

Ok.
When?

How about now?

Fine with me, but
you realize that when you
end with a question,
the answer is the last word.

Not necessarily.
We can end whenever we want.
I am.
No, no, don’t say another word.
Mine is the last.
Word.
