thanksgiving poem #7
this is your last day
faithful underpants
your gaping holes
can no longer be
ignored your elastic
is too flabby
it’s the ragbag
tonight so I will
say to you what
folks say to me
have a good day
although when
they say it to me
I don’t know
as you now know
whether to especially
appreciate this day
as the last–
might my own
elastic snap? so I
suggest to you
we join in living
every day with
thankfulnesss
