Looking over mail
arriving 9 years later
for the deceased.
Looking for clues,
hints -
some indication as to where he might be.
Where can I find him?
Hidden in the layers of reality
slipped away
tucked between dimensions.
What's he trying to say to me
through cell phone ads
and magazine subscriptions
that no one will ever read?
"Joseph, we've got a deal for you!"
Capitalism hunts you
even when you're dead
and I cling to the gleam
of a mass mailer post card
'til my chest clenches hard.
