15. Have Your Checked Your Butthole?

I know we are children
who refuse to wrinkle
despite bad backs and grey hair
and neither of us able to sleep properly
because every time our keys go walkabout
​                                          our cellphones fail to appear
before a court of overturned couch cushions and
                                     redistributed table pollution
one of us will ask the other
have you checked your butthole?
And the other will grumble and
                                         stare like a barely crackable pistachio shell
before turning their back and checking jacket pockets
​that the lost necessities won't be located in this time either
