PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Screeching schedules across calenders

No longer 

I no longer want to be the newspaper in your birdcage

The plastic liner under your dishes

The coaster on the table

Allowing your life to over-write mine

Can’t be the I’m-bored-curer

The I-got-nothing-to-do companion

Cruise director extraordinaire

For the dream voyage I'll never take.  

Conflicted and possessive

Off loading and teasing

You suggest they all want me

Hoping they do and I go. 

Meanwhile I tidy up the menagerie 

Stack the pantry neatly

And wipe down the console proudly 

Preparing for your departure.

Black Box Collection

He collects beautiful people

And stores them

In the Black Box

Of his phone.
