Today

And I as soon as I got home I scrubbed my feet clean
after a hot smoke-filled day hitting the pavement
on sweating streets
we're all hunched over like exhausted beasts
we walk by one another without any recognition
our thoughtfully found records warp on the walk home
but we listen anyway, sitting out on the stoop staring at the sky
drinking wine and grilling the juiciest of treats for dessert!
And baby, my feet feel fine.
