Since those months of lockdown I've noticed a tendency to stay in: inert, staring out at the day. thankfully a sprint to the pharmacy pumps me full of wondrous freedom -- it's physics: /objects at rest/ but that's not good rest on me; propulsion settles me down, warms me up -- throng of bodies scattered on Loose grass, dogwood spun to kelly green. two feet working the manual transmission, sliding in and out of lanes, Missouri scooching on by like mercury. hot hugs, music bustling from the blues boy's amp, soft denim evening with neon spurs -- someone help me remember not to stay in not to stay home.
It’s April 9th. We survived the rapture, I think.
I’m lucky to have a friend name Scott (well, Colin’s friend) who likes live music… he’s always texting to see when we can join them at Knuckleheads.
And lucky my friend singer-pianist-superwoman Julia Othmer texts me to remind me she’s performing at The Ship this Saturday evening, April 13, which I do have free.
Anyone care to join?
I love this poem! See you at the Ship!
