goat grazing
today i thought about the time
i sat outside my brother’s room
while he listened to records
and about the girl
he was in love with that summer.
he knew nothing would come from it,
but he was happy, nonetheless.
i thought about that today
and why i’ve always been so optimistic.
i’m not sure what got me started on this.
on tv, there was this story about
the fire department using these goats
who eat acres and acres of brush
to prevent forest fires from spreading.
the brush, they said, was unavailable for comment.
einstein
someone dropped off
free bagels this morning.
i grabbed a garlic and onion one,
and now my breath is deadly.
the guy next to me
is making the same mistake.
i just found out i’ve been calling him
by the wrong name all year.
it’s going to be one of those days.
