ECONOMICS 101
Thoughts of you stick with me like the glue
from a bar code label on the blue
plastic drinking glass
we bought on a lark
for drinking in the park --
remember?
Even Comet won't clean it away.
You're here to stay.
Sticky goo you.
Every time I take a drink.
I'm forced to think of you --
how you held me.
I've got better things to do.
Like finish this glass of wine,
which tastes just fine
from a plastic glass, thank you.
Is this a sign from God?
How odd.
I don't even believe and yet I think it's true
that this glue is you
metastickmaticly calling me
across the divide
of time and tide.
And the angels sighed.
This glass is a prophet, I do believe,
if not, it makes no cents.
