Monday Night
I’m trying to draw you a chainsaw
Okay I think I’m going to have a guess
I don’t know if I can get a hold of you
I just took a picture of the baby

@cableknitjumper @laurenthehough Really bad faith here. Only men getting riled up on the eve of the Chicago Public Schools system fighting one of the nation’s largest teachers unions to decide whether or not to go back to the classroom lol? Teachers need your attention and vigilance right now!
A Political Ekphrasis
Moment of Bernard
as we watched Hope
called the invisible thing
rife with significance
named “abundance of caution”
cradled him in my
left arm
watched him grow
a cherry pit
in my throat
