The Most Trustworthy Tin Cans

this is
my best friend's locker
without hooks, still catching metal.
crossing ponds with no plans for return.

air-conditioned hum
and 60% glass.
milking fangs into
baby food jars.
you were never mine
picking flowers
black + white bathing suit
curious of a bee
dear diary, 
i've become part of the problem.
stroking automatic voice with shaking hands
in the most trustworthy tin cans,
on the way going anywhere but here,
with a caravan of picketeers.

travelling with bread crumbs in the company
of dogs falling in and out of the comfort of our
favorite chairs.
