More in Dregs & Other Unreadables
pulling pins from the pin cushion
down on market street
by the brick facade in front of the Dubliner
where we used to wait while burly men
in jeans carefully carded kids
on the edge of another blackout
i found a six-foot bottle opener
and popped my head off
you were right there
and kind enough to sew
a pin cushion in its place
the way you embroidered my face on front
and cleaned me up so my mom wouldn't know
verges on saintly.
I'm really sorry it hurt when i stuck you.
