My Sagging Gut
Bob
I'll call him Bob
children run
by and ask me
what happened
did I get pregnant?
no, I tell them.
I'm a guy.
it just happens with
age
then I laugh
when they begin
to wonder if they'll
get sagging bellies
too.
Caterpillar
I inch my way
up the outside
of verdant life,
nibbling at foliage,
munching
on vitality as I
can find it.
Pawnshop
welcome
to my little pawn
shop
I will sell
you my old
teenager dreams
don't worry
everything turned
out better this way.
