SOCK HOLES AND SURGERY
Lance C Stemen

It is the warmth of yelling when someone

                          makes sick on your shoes and

It is carrying groceries from across town

                          to parks full of blindfolds and
       swimming pools with no lights
                          And –

we could all sleep if our pillows were clean.

       But to degrade myself suggests that

                          there’s no matter to what color the
       embroidered silks be- and
No end to the list of things I never did deserve
