Phase 1: The
Slow Reopening
Stay with
the couches and carpets,
The wood
floors and vinyl. A home
Is a home to
stay at home. Brick
And mortar,
we all have time
To lay on our
floors and look up
At the ceiling
as if we are laying
In grass,
looking at sky and cloud.
We have the
time to memorize
The shapes
we find in the popcorn
Ceilings,
find the images of our desires.
Then we go
upstairs and memorize
Every creak
and sigh of the steps.
Through our
bedroom windows,
We view the
street below, a scenic
Display of asphalt,
concrete, trimmed
Lawns, and
the parallel line of cars
Each one of
them parked, not a single
Space open.
All of us going nowhere
Fast.
