April 3rd
CALM
calm
stasis
and nothing
you have done today
deserves
the trip to bed
pull covers over head
and be grateful
that you never bought
the little app
of calm
because it’s raining now
for real
and it will rain some more
now we’ve closed the door
on cars and bars
and planes
and everything
that made the world
spin faster
close to disaster
we are in a state
of
what the fuck
no one’s got an answer
and nothing
is the same
but
on a night like this
wifi down
knitting done
crosswords solved
and wine too cheap to stomach
I count my blessings
and
each breath
and
listen to the sound
of nature
taking charge.
