Yes, little bits of green are spearing out of the muddy ground, birds are yelling in the rain, and the quilt is feeling heavy on the bed. Time to celebrate! Saturday night from 8-11 Joah Noah will sing us toward the Spring holidays, Sunday we will have Goth Night starting around 4pm, and then Monday it’s time for pussy willows and squirt guns and Śmigus-dyngus. Rebirth indeed.
“Everything’s Smaller”
Everything’s smaller. I got off the tram and
I’m comparing the landscape to my directions.
A rook. A little girl sticking two pink fingers
in her mouth. You can’t get lost.
Ugly door. Grimy stairs. I counted
the steps; four, so not much grime. I ring.
I stay there, in there. Leave. It’s darker. Not
even any snow. You couldn’t see too well, but
it said the tram would come in
twelve minutes. There’s a book in my pocket,
matches and tobacco. I know nothing.
