voicemail to brutus

By Julieanne Larick

-after “I Know a Man” by Robert Creeley-

 

to wonder if brutus was cute

on the ides of march is

to laugh at julius

julie, julia, juliette

jeweled upon a feathered crown

is life a life

if you are not glorious

or should i focus on driving

i fill my hollows with sun

each day, my blood

runs dark, moony

i buy supplements and wonder

if mottled skin droops

i suck in my stomach

i hope for the best,

say thank you, have a nice day,

and think of brutus

sorry caesar.
