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
