This day, rain feels best.
That day’s sun still confuses

man yelling through a bullhorn
massive beeping truck

Clear, tiny, sharp. Hail
pelted us as we stood on
the subway platform.

Air conditioner
shelters a mourning dove as
it calls out to friends

Lunch at the Beard House –
for a moment, dreamt it was
my home. If only.

Life here has been all

Expected face masks

I’m lukewarm on pink
but a Podunk pink frosted
