Not an Important Holiday
still I like the Idea of Chanukah
we can win against
Jeff Bezos, Mr. T,
State of Florida
like the notion that there is always
light if we make it
and music always music
and people writing books
and poems and even though
Fairway was entirely sold out
of potatoes yesterday and there
was only a little sour cream left
I found potatoes and will make latkes
and today we will give money
to whatever groups we believe in
(Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Memorial!)
and tomorrow we can watch
Jane Campion’s new movie
on Netflix and light another candle.
