On our walk today
We noticed there is a creek
Following the path
Wandering lonely
The daffodils exploding
Clouds breaking at last
Dispersed everywhere
Everything wanting to be
A part of the clouds
The stream running on both sides

Somehow the frustration
Of the pre post pandemic
Has usurped the lugubrious
Hyper anxiety of boredom
From wondering where on earth
We could get toilet paper
To navigating inscrutable websites
For a shot of science in the arm
From realizing a slight pause could
Reevaluate every human endeavor
To understanding courts still bypass
The right to avoid AR rifles at King Soopers
Basically the world still sucks
Why are we so eager to restart it as is

Again we return
With a sense of deja vu
We cannot quite place
To a place we know
That is far too familiar
Only the names have
Changed if you say them
Say them aloud when you are
Through say them again

What if it turns out
Apocalypse is the new
Normal after all
Even a burning
Building is right twice a day
Witness as the line
Exits from danger
Hands on one another’s backs
Leave no one behind
Don’t stop keep going

A week later the furniture arrived
Cats wonder why it took so long to move
They obviously go together well
Perches required to watch for those birdies
Besides make snuggles more ergonomic

Weather a dreary heaviness that arrives
With attendant latent depression as if
The sky knew your grief anniversaries
And baked a cake the size of the universe
Forgetting it was totally inedible

Infinitum apparently defer
Judgment whether a hate* crime is
A hate crime as long as
*The hater is white

Here in the endless present
Everything happens at once
The past has been going on so long now
We hardly notice when it’s over
