Dear Button

I offered you on Freecycle last week
but it was only fair I mentioned
a few of your baser habits
in the name of green cred
and to preserve my own karma

No takers I'm afraid
so it seems I'm stuck with you (again)

Maybe we should move
closer to LA
to make it easier
for you to disappear
down a crack when the quake hits
though with the luck you attract
I may as well wear a blindfold
and stick a pin in a map of Alaska

It's no secret
drama always follows
hard on your elbows
but ask yourself
who needs a trippy nympho whore
screwing the rest of the world to death
every time my back's turned

One day I'll learn
to say no
and close the door for good
