rock & roll fatigue
my watch buzzes at 7 pm
a yoga time reminder
I quickly dismiss it
a subtle reflex
the song on the google thing
making me think about
the handgun
I hid in the basement
years ago
it takes two efforts
to make the damn thing
operational
the old song segues
into a new one
I find myself singing along
[inside my head]
purposely forgetting
the hidden key upstairs
november two thousand twenty
