Secondary Music (COVID)
Some days we don't listen
to news don't count lawn signs
don't worry about unemployment
how this will end
some days we sit outside
at Angel's Restaurant facing County Route 23
Angel is from Oaxaca we sit far enough away
from a Bengali mother with her three children
all eating pizza big Mexican family two babies
pizza too full moon is everywhere no matter
the circumstances some days it is just a warm
summer night in a place as beautiful as summer
that green those sounds fireflies and a glass of cheap
wine and the knowledge that now
is still August still summer.
