Metaphor Shortages
can’t wear those pants no more
i don’t dance for anyone
can’t drink more than soda
no more chili dog runs
don’t deal with Frank at all
haven’t called cousins in ages
they supported that fraud
i cancelled the engagement
one door opens another closes
dream dies another’s born
riding these waves like a leaf
floating in a flash flood
still think about you daily
still read for full-on days
ruminating possibilities
with the impatience of age
wanna be more compassionate
gonna get out of debt
be playing you the piano
but haven’t learned it yet
