Round, cheap
and stained by my lifestyle.
Coffee, soda, and water
stains cleaned
when they cry for attention.
Am I a slob?
No!
I’m just focused
on important things:
Work, fear and happiness.
The table is pink.
Or no!
It’s fuchsia
and pushing a decade old.
Covered
with heirloom coasters
that know secrets
about my family.
Secrets that I
dream to learn.
