What does Facade say?
Breakfast meeting. Lunch
meeting. Outside, homeless men
plead, Will work for food.
When you’re not here we
skip dinner, fall asleep with
the TV still on.
I’m unsure whether
joy or terror will greet the
news that I am live.
Opportunity
is knocking. Finally, I
will open the door.
The spareness of what
I write contrasts with my
cluttered existence.
J spilled nail polish
remover on my mother’s
chest. I screamed, then cried.
My dead parents’ stuff
occupies my home and mind.
Unsorted, it waits.
Umbilical cord
cut they grow reattached to
digital cable.
Popcorn caffeine for
the friend whose mom is dying
comfort food TV.
