I am running out of glue


At farsight, you may think it's an empty bottle.
Just lying around
A sign of poor waste management.

When you take a closer look,
really try peering into it
--Like finishing a jigsaw puzzle by making the last missing piece out of paper just  to finally complete the damned thing once and for all!!---

You will see a thin sheen,
Maybe half a squeeze worth of glue,
Just a quarter of the moist saliva your dog licks you when you get home...

Just barely there.

Then, again.
There was nary a time that bottle was filled to the brim.
A couple of times, I had resorted to use some chipped shards of the bottle
Just to hold myself together.

Band-aids? Tape? Shaving blades? Noose? Don't flatter me. They simply can't do the job.

Please leave me alone until I get some more.
