stack

by Angela Thomas

he can't talk on the phone
because he's too busy getting
that money, honey. stacking
the cash and the grass and

the ass. putting it all in a cup
with chocolate sprinkles and whipped
cream on-top and convincing a bouncer
in times square that it belongs

there. filling up cups and filling
up holes where the deigned to be one
just a few short years ago. sunken
eyes and fallen chest, a beat long

forgotten in something like the rhythmic
pounding of traffic, i understand what you
mean to say. yes, hookah, yes, salbert, yes.

Heh. Wild and brutally clever. Very well done.
