when i found out
that you buy chunks of mango
twice a day
at Trader Joe's
i was so impressed
by your ritual passion
i told you all of my theories
how we should make cash edible
in case we are hungry
and don't want to drive to the store
i build the world around you
i'm like a knock off
Steve Nicks
i remember in text messages
you used to spell it
Steve Knicks
like New York Knicks
i remember too
the eggs in the pan
the manes of all the horses
at the farm outside the city
i feel the movement of the sound around the room
but i don't hear anything
my heart is a hot corn bean bag
