Slide nineteen in Dennis's quarterly deck shows Dennis crying in his car, taken from the passenger seat.

The room takes down notes.

Slide twenty: Dennis eating in the dark over the sink.

"Could you return to nineteen?" the regional director asks, his pen ready.

Dennis returns to it. Someone in the second row gives nineteen a slow, appreciative nod.

He clicks past where the deck ends, into slides that nobody has requested.

The bottle opener in the HR manager's drawer is for employees who will not uncap on their own. She fits the opener to that notch behind my ear, then pops. Something hisses from me for eleven seconds. She waits with folded hands until it goes flat.

"Better," she says. "You were foaming during meetings."

I sign each place she indicates. My complaint remains true. It just has no lift left in it.

The town interpreter trails Dale in the produce aisle while translating him aloud for every shopper.

"He's not picking out pears," she announces. "What he's deciding is whether to return to the house."

Dale puts the pear back. Two neighbors wait with their carts, polite, not hiding it.

"Say what's left," Dale tells her.

She does it. This lasts four minutes. Dale nods through it, twice correcting her, each one worse.

I am a love's fool. I realize you are with me for your selfish motive. I let you use me like a bar of #soap gives itself up for others by dissolving. Mist shrouded, I roam my palace on sleepless nights as I prepare myself to endure the pain of your loss after my use wears off. #vss365 #bionicanadian

That was a good detail that Rory noticed as he rode Esme through the village. A group of people around a rock by the river, washing clothes, #soap bubbles forming and flowing away. Sometimes the game added such little things that added so much more to the immersion of the game. So good. #vss365

One sniff of yellow Dial soap and memories of you come visit ing. Our first months of grad school when we'd walk to the Hungarian Pastry shop, drink black coffee and eat those delicious almond cookies. The air was crisp and possibilities were endless. 1980, NYC. #vss365 #soap

Ed lends his good suit to me, himself still inside it.

I climb in behind him, chest against back, and together we button it closed.

During the interview my hands sit idle in my lap; his do the promising.

"He'll need a desk of his own," Ed says, squeezing my ribs.

Walking back I ask if I may practice alone sometime.

"You'd wrinkle," says Ed.

The peppermint sears a hole in my cheek, and I leave it there, because this pain is the first thing to land since October.

Bev restocks the dish by the register and won't look at my face.

"They're meant for customers," she says.

I take two extra. One for the opposite cheek, one to sit beneath the tongue until my eyes fill, until I am crying at the checkout like a person with a situation.

In this #matchbox existence the air has a toxic scent and our water a grayish hue The acid rain refuses to burn though it does sting but it's no big deal cause environmental concerns are secondary to a red hot economy where the financial ends justify the sickly means #FoxProse #vss365 #poetry #poem
