poem of the day 05.04.11

cat food, etc.

four cans of
liver and bacon pate
four cans of
seafood feast
a can of chicken and liver
turkey cut into
stringy slices
four cans of beef pate
a bag of the hard food
and one package
of ocean explosion treats
done in
tuna
fish
and crab
the beautiful arabian girl
at the register
rings me up
asks me if i have cats
as she scans the
food
i nod
say nothing
am desperate to tell her
that i don’t
live
alone.
