AFTER THE SINGING, THE FOLLOWING MORNING

 










AFTER THE SINGING THE FOLLOWING

 morning, in the living room

coffee and newspaper with Karen

small talk thank God

attempting routine absent

of wonder still the sewing

machine new smarter

than cars that steer

when the bobbin runs out, oil

and already so much lint

working with flannel

it will be worse but Biden

did promise to stop deportation

flights immediately when

did he say that two days

ago I think a woman columnist

says we’re a center right

nation a pastor knows how

they voted carry your Bible

in one hand a newspaper

in the other Gray’s Anatomy

starts Thursday a long

time coming Mammoth

mountain with seven

inches of new snow
