Uneasy Heaven

I never wanted to discourage
you from coming home.
My intentions were far from that.
I invested in a chest trap
and safety cones, nose water
and a red light filter
with some glazed meat
for your concentration.
I even purchased a crystal pedestrian
warning bell and some denim
iron-on patches with wolverine logos
for your flight jacket.
I guess it never occurred
to you that these things
cost cash money
and that eventually
they'd all have to be
returned in their original
packaging with the proper
receipts, of course.
