there again
Raymond L. Heinrich
i’m there again
and i was doing so well
you wrote in your letter
but it can change fast
and today
monday
going against type
was better than
sunday
when the bodies of the dead
were lying around
with their notes
carefully worded
hand lettered
they had pinned to themselves
not wanting us
to misread
to mistake them
for an accident
at least this once
let me make something to remember
after years of peanut butter sandwiches
read one
goodbye i didn’t want to hurt you
but i’ve failed there too
another
don’t let them know
you won’t get the insurance
another
i hope you’re satisfied
bitter
too much
i can’t read any more
but that was yesterday
and now it’s monday
