The Florist to the Telemarketer

August 27, 2018 Jeff Reed

You arrange your

words so carefully,

showing off the best

                               

first, the bright colors

and dazzling scent

of whatever it is

 

you are pedaling. I know

most people hang up.

In between the calls

 

be sure to take a water

break.  Too much

rejection, like direct sun,

 

can wither the tender skin

your soul is wrapped up in

and cause black spot infection.
