LIMBO
Other parts
of the
day
seem like
life.
This one
argues
for near
death.
The
finger
put
on it
is out
of
touch
with my
vital
signs.
Q-TIP
Crayons
come
in many
colors,
unllike
the wax
in my
ears.
Only
made
in a
soapy
yellow.
Can't
help you
make
a card
for a
sick
relative.
BANK
Put coins
in a
jar
to
add up
to a
five and
dime
dream.
Ends up
mostly
pennies
after a
robbery
for
pizza
money.
