we take nothing with us
I know because
the grave is no roomier
than a twin
but when my girlfriend & I split
there was still the matter of the mattress
our mattress
& the good beer cups
our good beer cups
& the hours
like cheap cookies
breaking to crumbs
all through the apartment
as we tried again
to break apart ourselves
you can take anything
you want if you just wipe down
the shelves
