Mortality

That first brush with death
shook loose her confident grasp
of all she held dear.

Respects

They hadn’t spoken
in a year, but she came home
to wish him goodbye.

Mike’s death

Liked by all, no one
knows why he veered off the road
toward eternity.

Stocking shelves

She spent the day in
aisle 6, cold flu remedies,
wellness boxed, bottled.

Selling out

Buying a domain
name to monetize content.
The new bourgeoisie.
