FOR SALE

You know

if I could trade off a little bit of my soul

for a little bit of time with you

I would do it.

I would not sell it outright

for it is my soul

and I would not give it up

quite as lightly

as I did my heart

and my lower back

all those years ago.

But to swap?

In exchange?

I would parcel out

parts of my spirit

sections of my essence to you

for you

for your presence

for your smile.

Not all, though.

If I shared me in entirety

what else would you care to buy?
