Free Toast

Text

We and the sun leave each other mutually

by this half-coliseum pool, venn diagram

of unmet needs two dirty plates on a table,

don’t say it in a song yet, there is so much fault

to consider, how I am supposed to be right

for someone & we are both changing less

& less, at the restaurant of our not-to-be-

fathomed income gap, who broke the swirl

of softened butter, took the first warmed bite,

these shapes are normal for you, let’s conflate

airline miles with motivation, stack these

dishes & solve for it, which of us needs more

to let one plan slide off your full plate,

youth is made for our forthcoming lives’

work, light years are wasted on the will-travel
