Because we went to dinner in Harlem with old friends
Because we watched two episodes of Community
when we came home (both good)
Because I saw a beautiful film with Bob Moses
in Mississippi Paul Buhle posted on Facebook
Because Khanyi needed more Official Documents for Hunter
Because we don’t have Orange Juice
Because Garrison Keillor’s email this morning was Pretty Good
Because my friend Gwynne is going to work in the Biden Administration
and she called to say she’s on TV at 2:45
Because it’s already 10 and I’m still planning
to write a poem
