april 26

 Flirting with the Caterers


A synthesizer instead of 

a horn section


sequins instead of stars


I draped my work clothes

across the seat of the exercise bike


Hammered out the itinerary 

then accidentally erased it


Expressed my disdain

for food cars and pop-up shops

Then took it back


A ball python instead of a guinea pig

Kalamata instead of Castelvetrano


There’s a riot going on, she said,

as I carefully affixed the lime green

strip of paper around her slender wrist

and pressed the ends tight so it 

would last the evening


Though it didn’t
