the fruitcake gift

you think about regifting
the fruit cake
you got in the mail
last christmas. it's still
in its red tin, unbitten.
the seal broken only
to see what it looks like.
but what will you use
as a door stop
if you give it to someone
else.
what will you do when you
can't find
a hammer, or a weight to
lift and exercise with
if the fruitcake is no longer
yours?
how will you hold up
your old car
in the driveway if you
give the fruitcake away?
