Hamantaschen

I am an assistant coach
put back together
with spare parts.

I'm not nice,
but I am kind,
and the only thing missing
is a foot of my colon.

I fall into bed,
placing my Yankees hat on the next pillow,
and wonder if I will live or die. 

My brain hums
with poetry
and Virginia Woolf madness.

Because we all die,
you should eat dessert first
and join me in the kitchen
for a last dance.
