euphoric period
a hospice worker
naps
in a lawn chair
beside a tree
(a tree
with tire
swing)
in the front yard
of a house
with a man
on its roof
a man
unimpressed
by the woman
half ****
half woman
roughing her bare
scalp
on the wood post
of a neighbor’s
mailbox-
the only person I don’t recognize
is dying / in the house / is dying
from my
boredom. I could check the bird feeder
or I could check
the bird-
