where we’ve been and where

across the city,

across the city,
we meet in slices of sky
and make up things to

do to feel purposeful and
maybe even important

may we never be
working at cross purposes
in the pursuit of

fulfilling universal needs –
what can we put down to pick up?

making apple sauce
while mama does her homework,
my daddy and me –

home is wherever we are
together, working towards home

a good provider
is one who leaves – mothers, fathers,
daughters, and sons, no

truly – even now, we part

two out of every
seven adults desire to
turn their space into

a sandbox – work, play, sleep, just
to feel the sand between their toes

we never ask where
the garbage goes and hold in
contempt anyone

who leaves the garbage piling
up, waiting for a helping hand

we are all fatigued

we are all fatigued
for different reasons – talking,
organizing, not

doing enough, resisting,
having to share the power

step on, step off, snap

step on, step off, snap
to it, snap out of it, get
in, get out – breathe, breathe
