there are too many people  
wearing uncomfortable shoes in the world 
my husband finds this amusing 
I find it hard to breathe  
surrounded by walls of corned beef 
 
there are parallel celebrations happening:  
if ever you’re in my arms again 
I will show you the back in the day of our calamity 
I will show you the word in French on a flashcard 
if ever you’re overwhelmed by the choices 
 
the Moon will have to be reclassified as a planet!  
decisions will be made without benefit of research!  
 
we'll live it all again, Nassib 
lazily stretched out by Alexander 
with clashing swords and crying horses 
fat, sad, middle-aged men on expense accounts 
paying for performance 
wishing we were older
