Save Money, Live Better, So You Can Afford Therapy.
Whether or not this year's family reunion will be scarring me for life is hanging by a thread on Grandma Cecil’s swimsuit top as she stretches over the cooler for another “Natty Daddy.” My fate now relies on the craftsmanship of an underpaid Walmart seamstress who probably hated her job.
Hanging by a thread
most days
that's me.
sometimes
it's my
imaginary
doggie gone
walking.
we call her
Creativity.
she's a needle-
nose-plier
on the prowl
in the salvage-
yard on the
industrial
North-side
where nailed
sheet-metal
siding dangles
and substrate-
plywood boards
my would-be
windows-
to-the-world.
I call that
Sleep...

Crest Has Been Shown to Be an Effective Decay-Preventative Dentifrice That Can Be of Significant Value When Used in a Conscientious Program
Each of my teeth
Is hanging by a thread
On top and underneath
Each is dangling from my head
When windy they tintinnabulate
Chiming with chagrin
People with noses abdicate
From the halitosis downwind
I dangle them in chlorine
To one day prepare
For oral hygiene
And regular professional care
