the olives can go in the refrigerator
is what she said to me
can they now? that got my attention,
i squinted at her
didn’t believe her, not then.
that was absolutely not true.
those olives can’t go anywhere,
watch them; even if they tried.
i know for a fact, no doubt about it.
take a load off, olives,
you can put the load right on me.
your going days are over.
