retreat

I am developing an affinity for blue moons with orange slices
getting up early and meaning it
bald men who wear Ramones t-shirts and baggy pants
dining outdoors with freeloading grad students who are about to go to Sweden for the summer
and plan to not spend a dime
liver mush and pig's feet in the grocery store
and aisles that stock cans of Our Lady of Guadalupe room spray, stagnant sweet roses
having no dishes to wash or carpools to manage, no dog to walk
stretching out on a twin bed (alone!), my shades pulled up so I can watch the tree branches shimmy as music drfts through from
the room next door
