SAN VALENTÍN


You may be beatified
But I talked to
A dance instructor
That takes my
Breath away
When she stands
In front of me

And she’s not
Even dancing

I didn’t know
There was
Such pleasure
On the borders
Of final moments

MARY BETH ARKELL
HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
FOR HENRYS MARKETPLACE
CHULA VISTA


Mary Beth
What a beautiful name you posses

The needs of the store

Are not only illegal
But immoral

A need
Of addiction
For profits
At the expense
Of the blood
And severed limbs
Of workers
Is unlawful
And obscene

Oh Mary!
It was not
Always like this
There was a time
When a verbal agreement
Was enough

But suddenly

David Arias
(Store Manager)
&
Ron Cohn
(Store Owner)

Became sons of...

Hesitation

There was a time
When the manipulation
Of the hours
Did not take place

The day I received
Your letter
I was informed
The men’s urinal
Was overflowing
