Openers

 

We had a good laugh over my flip-flops

the ones with bottle-openers in the soles


that I offered you - new and unworn -

because the AirBnB’s kitchen had no


can-openers, church-keys, or corkscrews

as if the people who lived there


only ever opened bottles with their teeth

or perhaps did not need a special utensil


to start the conversations that are sealed

inside mouths of glass.
