All these things
They may come with you
You may very well
Take them
As if
Transporting them
To their proper location
Maybe not even
Their ultimate destination
A picture is worth a thousand Native Americans

But for reasons unknown
Transfixed glares
End on the very realized
Goods and services
Departmentalized and solemn
Even though the ad campaign
Speaks in colors
Pops and bursts
Pulls at the strings
Attached to the gut/brain string
No guts no glorified gut/brain string
No problem

The residuals from this type of
Conceptualizing
Are devastating
Young or old or middle
Still to plug your pups
Full of data and captions
Is the next best thing
To taking them directly
To meet their maker
Which is not you
If you ask you
Kind of an unexplainable piece of
The puzzle
But the answer most like
The rest
Is as does
Or as relatives leave
Small notes on the coffeetable
With cup ring stains
And chicken scratch
A phone number
Directions
A store name
Where anything desired
Can be purchased
For the right price
Beauty
Ultimately being in the eye
Of some half gutted
Half brained
Holder
Of information
Pictures
Puzzles
Spit
And serenity
For one limp second
