Mom Incorporated | Ivan Jenson

Let’s arrange
just one more
meeting of our hearts
and our minds
you choose the time
and the place
and I will promise to
be there
with one of those
insufferably
trendy gratitude lists
some flowers for the dead
and the blood red wine of Jesus
for good measure…
you will be Lady Lazarus
and I will speak for
the bunch of us
you left like penniless
homeless orphans
singing songs from Annie
on the street corner
for the living
begging for just one more minute
with the mother of all inventions
who had, with your low-tech precision
manufactured a limited edition
assembly line of love
made by a Costa Rican
in the USA
