she says in her poem
she once bought the
farm
meaning she got
married back then
though I can't remember seeing
any farm in Las Vegas
last time I went
there
this one small piece
of a poem
that lays out her life like a road map
telling all the things she has done
to this point in her not so long life
why she needed to sum it all up now
I can't say though I
might need a calculator
to make sense of it or keep track
or figure out what exactly it all means
not a love poem as much as a confession
though just to whom she speaks I can figure out
wiping her slate
clean maybe
needing someone else to know all she has gone through
to get here when it
seems she might not be here for long
the history of her life written on the face of a clock
ticking loudly full
of innuendo
and to some degree sadness
