Plan B
There is a lull
giving me time to think
what to do with
the furniture
the cars
& the children
If we were to flee
that would either
question our innocence
or solidify our guilt
—it’s what they call
a win win situation
It seems the bail
made just the other day
isn’t worth an order
of McDonald’s fries
Inside the rule of law
tick
tick
ticks away
whereas on the outside
it’s a jungle
poachers with spotlights
picking & choosing
leisurely to their liking
In case of emergency
wield the hammer
against the glass
pick up the answer
in the form of a map
unfolding itself
time after time [after time]
march two thousand twenty-three
