poem in one breath by Matthew Welton
you’ve been singing along with the radio all morning
and I sit here turning pages without really reading
and your fingers smell like vinegar
and we think we hear the doorbell
and as the shadows sharpen and you prop
open the window, the drizzle seems to ease
we think it’s our thoughts that are distorting how we see things
though we wonder if it’s what we see that is distorting our thoughts
the sunlight catches the spider-webs
and I can’t really hear what you’re saying
and somebody’s used up the peanut butter
as we’d imagined somebody might
