Marie, I drove to the landfill yesterday ㅤto find my wedding dress ㅤthe one
I couldn’t bear to give to anyone else ㅤI know I shouldn’t have ㅤbut I followed
the truck down the beach road and into the desert ㅤtried to plead at the gates
you know ㅤthe way they do in the movies ㅤbut security was so tight, Marie
so I watched from the car ㅤand it looked like a mound of bodies ㅤlace wrapped
around denim around plastic around mulch ㅤand there were so many toys,
Marie ㅤdolls without stuffing ㅤbikes without wheels ㅤso many fridges
torn at the hinge ㅤand the truck I followed could have been any truck
my dress any dress ㅤso I left ㅤdrove deeper into the desertㅤ until all I could
see were seagulls ㅤdipping in and out of the heap ㅤnothing on their backs
but feathersㅤ and they looked so happy, Marie ㅤthey really did
