all day long poppin’
shoulder back into socket
with soft gravel crunch

i miss your long
laugh lunch meetup
$8 all-you-can-eat

pozole a few bucks
extra for those
best fish tacos

available anywhere
along this whole
damn fault line

he hangs
around
at night
another
trite moon
metaphor

midwinter heat death
this half-life where cortisol
is what kills us all
