I\u2019m a bucket-traveler,
a bread-on-bread mate,
like a hobo
with breath-crushing-gypsy-gas,
a yeasty timberland (just look around),
a flinty nugget and hardworking-slouch,
a knitted skeleton,
a cord-clotting emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later I\u2019ll be blood fodder for bugs and webs.
O, the places I have traveled!
And God wrote on the bread wrapper:
\u201cTell me your story.\u201d
And thus, always an obedient root,
I have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
