We found ways back in those days/

Ways to order our lives in community/

We spent time among friends and neighbors/

We compared notes in housekeeping tips over back fences/

We hung our laundry for all the world to see/

It has been a while since I assessed every corner’s baggage/

squirreled away by a lifetime of disordered orderliness/

Its time to find our way back/

to the neighbors we once knew/

open the doors and windows/

and let the sun/

disinfect/

and cleanse/

the corners of our hearts

 

 

It is beyond understanding/
these heinous interminable countdowns/
of death/
where we dwell/
human life is cheap/
except when it isn’t/
all too often the innocent perish/
oddly the killers/
seem to/
go on/
and on
