Sausage by Anonymous
The reasons I
called yesterday
don’t exist
they started slipping when I recognized the words
in my head
their journey through my brain and to rest in your
ear
proved hard to accomplish
I mean to ask
if you needed or wanted anything
that you could possibly have that didn’t involve
me
or parts of me a limb a cheek
or all of me a soft skin sag filled with bones
I could send you
a thing or two
a token
a book
or cd or something generous
I could offer
I would add that you take advantage
call today
limited time offer from today to forever
But instead you sounded tired and
on the way to store
to buy carrot juice
for a bunch of old people eating sausage
i wear a tie on my first day of school
it makes me tough and butch
like Madame Stravinska
who explained that a jette was important in ballet
it was the beginning of a jump
Walter isn’t here yet
and i’m waiting
i’m drinking and i have his ring
the couple at the bar are making out
the old guy in the corner is watching them
i’m watching him watch them
