So far the spring has
mustered only a single
dandelion in
the back yard as grass
gathers green through the pavement
some blue and yellow
combined climb to the surface

Listless energy
staring at screens all day long
waiting for the news
to develop past
what we cannot determine
by scenarios
that should not happen
suddenly seem possible
if only in words
that keep appearing on screens

The ghost I was in
that house by myself looks much
the same as the fear
bearing down upon
whatever might be the worst
case scenario
tiny reminders
how much I have been lived through
and how much remains
on the other side
which I constantly live in
already not yet

Such a day all day
reading paywalled articles
that I will pay for
sophisticated
ways of saying not saying
money oil is more
important than lives
who have no choice but to live
their pockets full of
sunflower seeds hope
it becomes impossible
to live and to breathe

World hurling itself
back to normal much faster
the reasons for war
inexplicable
just like all the other ones
live long enough and
you see another
when will injustice become
a brief and just peace
keeping to ourselves alone

Some nostalgia takes
a lifetime to get used to
how long ago was
not so long ago
you cannot remember it
yesterday there was
tomorrow to look
against all odds forward to
when we can go back
to where we started
see in a mirror clearly
dimness reflected
not how you thought the song goes

Listened to someone
explain supply and demand
on the radio
for a few minutes
while I avoided drivers
who had no clue which
lane they wanted to be in
