Stand by Someone Else

Let’s talk socially.
The people you live close to
can hear you through the hills.
I never wanted to bring the
to bring the bag of chips to your party to
to feel the cold of your doorknob.
The bag is empty but for salt
at the bottom.       Salt is is
pre-hypertension.     So be.
Relax.      Digging for pennies under
the porch isn’t a bad idea.
Just don’t find any dead bodies.
