Awaiting the next Feartime
1-6-21 J
______________________________
insurrections in all 50 States
in all big cities
in all senior centers
in all
Is this the predictions of the 12 foot snow
that never came
of the nine foot one that did
is this a new word
global fearing
________________________
2-I sit at my computer
and write words
listening to Louise Ferrenc, Symphony in G
a female 19th Century French Composer
who we should know more of,
listening to
Classic FM UK,
sometimes wishing one of these
was my country
should mention we had a Brit meal tonight
in memory of Henry the V111,
we supped without vegetables
later
will listen to CBC
then watch Smiley’s people
____________________________
3-By tomorrow night
or the one after
or the one after
or by the 21st
nothing else will have happened
we will go to bed
in the same room as our dogs
two of them anyhow, and
maybe some lives should remain unexamined
