sunday afternoon
at what point will people tire of weekend sport events
wars in afghanistan and two for tuesday tacos
all these meaningless fights on the hill run
second fiddle to just about any dog and pony show
during my haircut the cosmetologist kept talking
about tax cuts and sexual harassment
and for a moment I thought I was participating
in some sort of candid camera episode
I’m going ice skating I say matter-of-factly after her rant
that is as soon as I get the hell out of this place
november two thousand seventeen

This is excellent — especially the second-to-last line.
thank you so much, Shawna
Sometimes you just have to leave …
yes indeed – escape even though it may only be momentary
