Poem Artwork

tuna packed in water

 

bought you

a pair of pants

and a top—our shopping day

in size medium diet tuna packed in water

bubble wrap tortilla with olives and jalapenos

matching items on the menu

 

drinking

but not alcohol

you’d be surprised

at my youthful libation

bought you a bottle of magic

to go with your new pants and top

 

tuna packed

in water correct weight

unopened bubble wrap unpopped

horseradish and salad dressing lite

ageless elixir uplifting tonic

 

writing pouring

from a teaspoon I drink

the old days of what sage’s

knew preserves life and oh…

I bought you a pair of pants

 

and a top

in size medium

nowadays I buy outfits

in pairs and tuna packed in water

it’s time for a teaspoon of magic…

A lovely poem packed with daily activity including thinking of your loved one and how you are changing your dietary habits to be better all the time. I have found that tuna packed in water tastes just as good as tuna packed in water… But certainly not as fattening.

I think I'd need at least a cup of magic, a teaspoon doesn't go very far, but it's a start.

thank you. i have savored so much of your lovely poetry, salty it is, but it is the sweetest. and what can go wrong with a teaspoon of magic? nada, i say, open the full jar and just let it all out, and watch the lovely unfolding, of colors, butterflies and innocence,and the crazy lil' laughter of kids running round and round. have a great day.

Look Away Silence by Edward Patterson

Martin Powers wanted an ironing board for Christmas. Instead, he got . . . Matthew Kieler, a non-returnable gift, but a gift that kept on giving. A powerful tale of survival, compassion and unapologetic love in the time of AIDS.
