18 SOLERA DIAMOND VALLEY | MAY 2024
Outside the Store
I don't very much like
being tied up outside the store.
I don't very much like
looking as if I were forgotten.
I don't very much like
having to make small talk with the passing dogs.
I don't very much like
how it looks as if it might rain.
How it feels as if you've been gone forever.
How the only thing I have to read
is the same parking sign again and again.
I don't very much like
that you tied me up outside the store,
which is why I'm not going to the bathroom
until we get home.

Another excerpt from my wonderful little book "I
Could Chew on is," by Francesco Marciuliano. I
hope you enjoy it.
