good company
strangers are good:
the hairdresser on her smoke break,
left boot lug sole up against brick,
who smiles at my daughter;
the drive-thru teller,
lollipops at the ready,
who keeps my fertility her prayers;
the man behind me in line,
tissue outstretched,
who follows me to the car.friends are good:
the one who just had a new baby
and solicits advice;
the one who invites me more
than I accept;
the one who gives and gives,
taking;
the one who loves me always,
even when I don’t.alone is good:
the dogs asleep on two scraps of sun;
a bit of boogie-woogie,
upbeat and swingy;
the port, sweet;
the tub, hot;
the kitchen knives, sharp.the bearded lady (alias) 2001
