Hi.
I've been sitting on this poem for quite some time and think it might be (somewhat) finished (if that's possible). So here you go. There's at least one more in the wings so we'll see how it goes.
Reduced for Quick Sale

My soul weeps
from muscle tissue
Fingers drip
self sauce
with gravitational force
pooling it in
the supermarket floor drain
en route to the sewer
as I open
the gleaming metal freezer door
discovering
the rich Latin American
culinary heritage
of my departed abuelita
Reduced
to a litho print
complete with smiling toucan
on the back of a box
of frozen taquitos
made with love
by a robot
in New Jersey.
