I knew two
other things, but they were wrong, as it happened.

A hole in the heart,
not for a leak, but a window to let in more light
and the warm storm.

When pet names go wrong
To arise one smoking spring
& find one’s youth has taken off
for greener parts.

Why doesn’t anyone call me to discuss my extended warranty anymore?
Do I need to finish the approval process on one of these personal loans I keep getting called about so I can pay for my extended warranty?
