TO THE LOVER WHO LEFT ME FLOWERS IN A PEPSI BOTTLE, APOLOGIZING FOR
HAVING NO VASE by Joseph Fasano

If this is the truth, I want it.

Listen: I have wasted 
my little life-
on spectacle, on golden lies, 
on dust.

I know now
what your hands knew
when you
did this:

Love
is the daily
bread, the make-it-work.

Touch me till this world is world enough.
