My poem “I’ll Have the Body Sandwich, and Hold the “Me,” Please” is live at Poem Alone. I am grateful to editor Colin Dardis for taking this piece, and to artist Ron Throop for providing the title during a fundraiser for Brick Street Poetry a couple of years ago.
O at the Edges 
Congratulations on your publication, Bob. The poem rings true.

That poem! Mr. Throop really frosted the cake with the title. A post and a poem from you was the best possible thing I could have gotten for my birthday. Thanks and a big virtual hug.

Do you have anyone who might lick it for me?”
Irony or coincidence?

Thanks, Lynne. This was fun to write, after I recovered from the “what the hell do I do with this” phase. 😄

It was a blast to write. Hmm. The thought of a congratulatory sandwich reminds me that I haven’t had lunch!
