Flicking bird droppings
from the hair of the bust
of Mercury Hermes Maurice
protector of boars and travelers
with a toothpick I found
I see the sparrows ate
the berries I threw out
on the compost what a heap
yesterdays make if you
layer your waste
if you distinguish it
from your past after
some critical condition
crossed your path
here’s your receipt
you saved $150. today
which is three times
what you spent
exclusively on things
that will kill you.
