a tough lip to chew /
saying what was last year’s code /
errors out after the kids wander away /
trying to be a store display /
but the mannequins refuse to take their seats /
sing to the sac slouching like a question mark /
in the middle of the page /
no words for miles /
just the folding body closing up shop /
after all the stock runs out /
but still your laugh that doesn’t cut /
rather balms unraveled edges of this form /
we carry together across the unlit parking lot /
towards the faint burning glow that ends today
