Price Less

So I’m on this

date with Matt …when

he opens his wallet like

he always does

and

pulls this

ooey gooey thing…

out of his totally paper

heart and

I’m all yuck…why

is he handing

me

THAT

and smiling?

so of course

I look

for its price tag so

I can exchange it

for

some designer galoshes …

BUT HE SAYS ITS PRICELESS

So I

TRASH it

because all it’s

got is

this fuddy

duddy stupid

silly

priceless

stinking

….LOVE …note

label…thing

oh my gosh … I’m

worth so much

more than

that

My name is Kimberly Vargas Agnese, though I've previously written as Kae Bucher. I was born in the Florida Keys, but grew up in the Bay Area before migrating south to the San Joaquin Valley. As I ride barefoot around Fresno, I consider the paths I've chosen and the crossroads where our country seems to have perched itself. Thanks to my Romani ancestry, many people groups reside within me and my poetry tends to reflect this. I love welcoming the sunrise with my Native American flute. I've been rumored to juggle while teaching students how to write. And if you can't find me, I'm probably hanging out with Jesus listening to parables.
