the radio
playing
the same song
all day & night

turn it off
and it plays
in the head
damn
nuisance
creating
an ache

that shouldn’t be
……………….should it be

reading a label
upside down
does that change
the ingredients

if
the doc
can’t pencil you in
at noon
i can
for your story
isn’t much
different than
his
hers
or mine

simply
take off
your shoes
before you enter
