We drive with friends
public park in a gorgeous spot
sand and swimming
free kayaks and trails and picnic spots
in Maplecrest, New York
where Macy’s unionized workers
once went on free vacations.
Public art space now.
Incredible days
of light and summer and testimony
and everything life can be
difficult and surprising and hard to piece
together sign after sign
for Lee Zeldin anti-abortionist Republican
candidate for governor
and magic and summer and two
seven year old children
who both do headstands in the water
and laugh because it is summer
and sometimes the rest doesn’t matter
right now.
Some upbeat information at last
Lovely summer uplift. Love especially your ending,
laugh because it is summer
and sometimes the rest doesn’t matter
right now.
