LIVING ROOM NOTEBOOK MASK

 

LIVING ROOM NOTEBOOK MASK


!!!!!


Beginning with punctuation and smoke


!!


No keys, no bars, no guards.

Nobody in streets or yards

when you go out to get the mail.


The garden wants to be alone,

ignores you, as if to say,

Go back inside.


Checking Facebook,

a young woman in Michigan

dressed in an American flag,

protests the vaccine.


There’s that.


!!!


Smoke.

That song in your eyes, a romance.


Blowing smoke.

Got smoke?


Blow it up your ass


She was smoking, like hot.


He was going somewhere fast.


Here and gone.


The bear by the side of the road.

On the sign

delighting children.


Smoky.


!!!!


The ball game on tv that I lost interest in.

I wasn’t done with my comments to Rod.


Couldn’t send Not even to Alabama


Not to Mississippi, Goddamn!


Nina


Emailed myself the same question


What’s outside What’s inside


What inning we in


Which masks to where


Joy Harjo and her horses


I have some masks
