attention all skeletons:
announce your exit!
act affected!
find yourself fixed
in new flesh
less them guts
you spill
to spell grit
finely faked
clamp the new bit
between teeth
worn smooth
still repeating
"every star
must die
to shine"
half-believing
you're so proud
to be bursting
have such high hopes
for haunting
with your yesterdays
like paper ghosts
who merely moan
to move the room
but I am not buying
these dear
diary entries
love poorly conceived
quickly lost
(with a twist!)
manufactured
plastic moments
wrapped in
fabricated magic
poems with all
the aching heart
of a grocery list

We will be sure!
to add
more block cheese on
your sandwiches
and forget!
the bread altogether
(unless! it's wonderbrand)
because
we're underfunded
as it is

[By the by, superb diction and an excellent reminder.]
(and sir messengers of such)
much obliged

however, Am i to believe my poems
have gone sour for you
like milk in the refrigerators
of abondonned apartments?
I've longed for the approval
from such collegues as yourself.

Articulate as always. I do enjoy your slivers of soul-honesty, little windows...
I hope you are well, Shane.
I have no internet

no worries
yours shall never go sour
