Sausage

Valerie Deus

The reasons
called   yesterday
don't exist
they started slipping when I recognized the words
in my head
their journey   through brain magic and to rest in your
ear
proved hard to accomplish
to ask
if needed you or wanted
that you could possibly have wants that didn't involve
me
or parts of me a limb a cheek
or all of me
a soft skin sag filled with bones
send a thing or two
a token
a book
or cd or something generous
I could offer
I would add you take advantage
call today
limited time offer from today to forever
But you sounded tired and
on the way to store  
to buy carrot juice
for a bunch of old people eating sausage
