something’s missing
i searched everywhere
for the button
that fell off my favorite jacket
but i just couldn’t find
the damn thing
it was as if the world
was testing me
to see if i would dare go out
wearing such a beautiful jacket
with a button missing
i opened the refrigerator
and there stood
a dozen pale ales suggesting
i drop the needle and thread
and let the button go
january two thousand thirteen
