I will sip
This life slowly
Remember you
By Friday
With each carbonated hiccup
Your face reminds me
Of brightly colored wrapping paper
Always loud with a mouth ready to be opened
So I will collect this life
Into a chipped tea cup
Slightly jagged edge that nips my lips
With every sip
Like our conversations
Gathering up tidbits
Of current events, laughter, and insults
Pour them across the table
Come Friday
So I will sip
This life slowly
