Artificial sweetener packets decorated the car’s floor-mats. Their wet shoes made them martyrs. A few sprinkles escaped, Separated and near change, Butterfly wings dried And saved their disintegration For the last trip home. Some moments belong in paper-bags.

Sad Person Qualifications
Top floor apartments shelter stair noises, no longer content belonging to levels, they die where brick and stucco meet the morning fog.
