Eleanor, We Have Put These Difficulties Behind Us

Little things     they accumulate    Then it falls apart         You notice         too  late

Fat ravens in flight—shadows on the glass       Too much time          Day   dreaming 

Nerves starting    to fray     Thin strands    of wire    outside       speaker inputs        

A bit of irregular distortion     Easy enough      to ignore    A funny feeling   Easy enough to ignore

Playoff seeding      Orange ball thrown up    Center hands reaching        towards a kind of heaven

A Kind of Blue    Wash     the beets     Peel     the beets    Is this seasonally appropriate?

Dandelions are already      going to seed   Emma doesn’t      love beets      Is there meat?     

Go to the store      Get the Ginger-miso pork      Meat counter     third row from the bottom    

It’s written in English    Do I        have to get the meat?
