ON Sitting Alone
On Sitting Alone at Costco Eating a Hot Dog
and wishing you were there, the
strong maleness of you, Your
daily grip on my loneliness. The
wait for you to get out, call me.
The beef flesh taste so long
forgotten on my tongue.
Tonight will be too late. You
will not find me there My old
walk out the door will never
find you looking
I sit alone knowing that this
long, left over afternoon will be
the last warm memory of
today.
I will go home from here and
prepare the socket of my own
life to leave this place
Forever.
