The Eager Ghost
Just let me be invisible
The too-beautiful wraith
Will put a bag over her head
So you won't stop to stare
Let me not change
This imperfect world still
So precious to me
So wondrous to me.
I will live on heels of bread,
Come at the end of the day
To steal food seconds from
Becoming ******* in a bin
I have an affinity for
the smallest red cherry tomatoes,
but I can carefully rearrange the pile,
hide the absence of a few.
I will ride my bike into town
When town is closed on holiday.
No (carbon) footprint left
I'll only slip indoors behind someone's feet.
A stranger. A fading memory. No trace.
For this planet. Happy early Earth Day.
