(Omission: the dead baby.
my stealing strategies,
not to mention the collections
my obsession with olives
and yes, (omission: Martinis)
i won’t say–
i am not fond of duck pate.
i will zip in my gut and paint
my toenails, i won’t smoke
not to mention (omission: a joint)
tonight is one for sesame crackers
and caviar. compliments fold into napkin swans
of --------------- not to mention
tomorrow I will purge all of the unsaid)
