Toast and Jam poem I wrote

Extinguish my anger,
detoxify mind.

Cruise city streets
to get out of a jam.

Raspberry juice
stains your porcelain hands.

Only you don’t see

the mess you’ve made
of yourself.

Rockababy myself to calm state
highways could take me

to Kalamazoo.

Save it.
For a rainy day, sleeping man, to cushion his head
before he wakes the next day to toast yesterday’s jam and tomorrow’s butter.
