POEM: Labor Day

From the artist John K. Lawson, a poem on Labor Day.

words can never be

one dimensional

 

she smiles at the kitchen counter

opening a can of organic pinto beans

 

on the fridge smeared

with gmo free guacamole

 

worlds wither with travel

is written with magnetic letters

 

sounds like your poetry she says

with a mouth crunching tortilla chips

 

why is that he asks chopping

a flaking cluster of cilantro

 

because your poetry lacks

dirt between the ears

 

I thought you were all about hygiene

Except when it comes to the spoken word

 

wiping a lemon Squeezer

before passing the salt

 

they

sigh
