neighborhood breakfast

10 past 8am, the clouds are all furrowed up

as I enter the kitchen to make breakfast


sit with my one-minute oats (eating slower 

to watch the crows)


Two blinds frame 

the neighborhood


It’s just two on set today (they don’t have pupils

yet I’m directing mine back just in case)


My sister sprinkled peanuts on the lawn yesterday

I stepped on the lawn today, under all the furrowing


sounding like nothing ever happens here (not even

mockingbird visits) besides murders


and the handful of peanuts I 

dropped in the grass, which


give me doubts despite

its greenness


sitting upright

in the still shadow
