Today is my day
to pick up the veg
as
this is what I do now,
in very small rebellious acts of less
reclusive-ness
on Fridays, I pick up the veg
from our farm share
I slip on a summer dress
ignoring all terrible things
the mirror has to say
it being
just
one of those days
and decide instead… this
is what we\u2019ve got
to work with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

the weekend’s
car show
to which he has asked if maybe later
I should like to
wander
already around me, shiny cars of all sorts
are setting up, revving engines
they do indeed look like cars to me
think I\u2019ve seen all I need to
Shania Twain\u2019s \u2018that don\u2019t impress me much<\/em>\u2019 running through
my head
except for a small vintage truck
one part paint to two parts rust, has caught my eye
I do have a great fondness for
rust
still,
it\u2019s more the clouds that have captured my attention
the whitest white wisps and billows
against the brightest blue
of the sky
and for some time I watch a bird
far, far up as if flying almost,
amongst the clouds
I watch it sail
it appears to be travelling quite fast
unbothered, unbridled, un-
impeded by
anything<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Juneteenth
where in 1865 it was brought to the attention of
certain Texans, that according to the Emancipation Proclamation
they could no longer own
people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
had already been true for almost
two years
yet resisted<\/p>\n\n\n\n
understand
just when, and how someone will decide
that they have a right
to own, buy and sell and otherwise treat abominably
another
human being<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the other end fastened about his own neck.\u201d

I spend my
time quietly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fish<\/p>\n\n\n\n
May you be safe and
at ease
May this day treat you kind
and see you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
