In a sixty word email I was addressed thrice. I
shared 18 emails with another. Not once was I
named. Favors were being sought in the first.

At a stag party
he is disoriented
as he meets himself.

Show me an obese child
I will show you
an unhappy family.
(4)
In the mart selling mistbows
my color was missing like
a tooth in perfect teeth.
(5)
Parleying with you I learnt
what it’s to chat
with a cadaver
(6)
No-one in my family has this. Lest it sounds duff,
there is everything else: diabetes, heart issues, cancer.
Every family has everything, you calmed.

Am guessing this poem is about contentment in whatever situation. Words of unfilfulment and content. Nice!
