Wax

by Zach Jones

I hold up the roof of my home 

Flowers spring up at the base of my feet  

I keep my TV volume at only odd numbers  

And line my yard with pavement  

I walk on wood and gasoline products  

Cheap rolls, shiny tile  

I run myself ragged  

When the wick’s gone  
Burn the wax  

I run myself ragged  

When the wick’s gone  
Burn the wax  

An art installation,  
Pick and pull at me 

Made of pieces  

I come apart.
