The Old Guys at the Pantry, Breakfast, 5 A.M.
San Mateo, CA
It started as a spot,
a small one,
on his leg.
Dennis,
with that van,
those crooked teeth,
that grin.
Nothing lasts,
not heat pumps,
toilets,
HVAC units,
fishing boats,
erections,
hot coffee
or first wives,
nothing but
the fog
rolling in
from Half Moon Bay
and the human
need
to burn it
off with words:
muffler,
toast,
butter,
rip-off,
mother,
love,
Colin Fucking Kaepernick,
marlin,
Monday,
hard.
