vaguely feel like writing poetry again after hearing the news about coke zero

the doritos truck was in front of dollar general

the truck was moving backward

but i was on a scooter

moving forward.

//

i heard the news about

coke zero

and you didn’t have

the energy

to tell me

to my face.

//

i opened my front door and

i heard the kids rap battling

in the park across the street and

i turned the other way.

//

we ate tacos

at local taco

and talked

about condos

in florida.

//

i hit the deck

with the Honda CRV

because I checked

my phone while driving

the Honda CRV.

//

we lost

the roku remote.

i had to download

the roku remote

phone app to watch

netflix until the

babysitter found

the roku remote

under the couch.
