These metaphors that smell like
Old gym socks dried in the shape
Of a thirteen-year-old boy’s foot
Mouthfuls of bitterness from
The lapis colored mug roll
Down my throat, a prayer
Something better will be written
Perhaps now
Perhaps tomorrow
Perhaps never
Forever uncharted in the
Tepid furnace of mediocrity
Each word a petrie dish, a test
Tube, a puzzle piece of a junior
Year Chemistry lab
White coated, eyeglass wearing
Pessimist holds clear hope in
Her vial. Mix with his anything but
Precocious voice and you’ve
Got more worthless words
Fewer vital signs chugging
From the tips of her fingers
Before she retreats, taking
Her stale coffee cup with her.
