Weekend Team/Weekday Team/Broken Hearts of Pet Lovers
By: Somewhere Maltempi

The weekend team was an inert globule of joy
enforcement power
They had none
Cocktail Vivian, Terrence Punch
Invalidate an order just for fun
No refund warnings in insouciant tone
Stale rankouts and amateur star spasm directors
Playing shake the Soda Kingdom
in an emergency lit concourse hallway
Uninspired terms of abuse
Wafted through rooms
that never had a water color by Turner
hang on them
for dear new life
wet storm contrition nails
painted hobby drunks hammering
These walls were matchstick connoisseurs compared to R
These walls were upset, but knew a new childish adult would
Draw on where its heart might be
Warming under discount moat of spackle
An afternoon dying
Recalling the way you’re father always threatened you
When he tried to teach you something
The driving lesson in the community college parking lot
The one that made you enjoy walking
more than you ever had before
pillow on fire
old roommate dreams you accidently collided with years later
Years later
On mushrooms
with a stolen car incident and a kite that wouldn’t work
Same parking lot
R was the only weekend team member to make a woman like
Dr. Ellida eject her equipoise loudly
With pert
Snappish concern
“We’re sorry, I’m afraid you’re credit card information is no longer valid
You will have to speak to the weekday team between 7 AM to 3PM
Our time
I want you to know that we don’t encourage customers like you
To buy our products.”
Leave it to the Captain to make up the part about the weekend team
Still laughing as the independent vacuum cleaner
Teased the pets with heartless busy perfect movements
