XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX some in from work,
dashing from taxi to bathroom with a quick-change skirt;
frames off the walls, tipped and nudged;
a parasol’d table with a cig carton; bodies in laps;
red acrylics to sink into scalp;
we sweat out the end of summer.
prose.
"For a month, we spoke of our country like a balloon let fly from an infant’s hand. There it goes. All that money for nothing. What a fun five minutes! We switched channels when the European forecast erred toward the Atlantic. We ate brioche and complimented the wooden window shutters on main street. We pretended we were not who we were until we forgot."
