beans
i spilled the beans.
it just came pouring out of this aluminum can…
it came and it came and i couldn’t make it stop…
like, isn’t there only so small a space for beans to be in a can?
i said, “when i’m old and eighty”
she said, “i guess you just turned eighty”
and, like spilled salt, one can’t put it back.
it’s not that i feel regret or anything…
I sort of feel… elated.
it’s real. it’s real.
Omygawd, it’s real.
Real.
Did I just spill the beans?
I don’t know what made me do it!
Real.
It’s REAL!
