Weekend Team/Weekday Team/Broken Hearts of Pet Lovers

                                                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“We’re sorry, I’m afraid you’re credit card information is no longer valid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
