Quitters Never Win

By odetobarbie

one wide gauge
hipped at the join
viciously packed
boxed flip-top coffins

one wide gauge
cyclically vanishing zippos
amid end-table turf wars
lemon pepsi redbulls

one wide gauge
cellophane cat’s cradle
modishly wound
sturgeon general’s EULA.

one wide gauge
eluded existential attentions
poisoned abysmal inhalation
sanctioned lonely exultation
