poetry by j matthew waters

nothing much


she asked what I had
done all day
this after doing god knows what
from nine to five

for a second I thought it was
a trick question
but I quickly regrouped
and said I’d spent most of the day
watching the war in real time

in my mind
the better question might be
what’s that sweet smell
you got going on in the kitchen


may two thousand twenty-four
