Thin Sandwiches
thin sandwiches
we make thin sandwiches in thin times
we don’t have much but the rust of the engine
and the dust of an old house,
I hear her call me in like yesterday
my inner eyes wade into the seas of once was,
I can taste these thin sandwiches
this thin meat with thin mayo and dried mustard,
in time this becomes my history,
we make thin sandwiches
n thin times we don’t have much
but the rest of the engine
and the rambling of this old house,
in times of few
these sandwiches thin were relished,
my eyes lost in the distance
the distance of memory,
I taste this bitter-thin imagery,
into my history, it fades
a memory,
a memory not really needed
or
wanted but here nevertheless.
