Poetry Is My Protest Poem #9




A tiny universe crept into my hours.
Between a child's figurine and an old man dreaming dreams of when he was a boy.
My day unfurled between checkbooks and building blocks,
between coffee-kisses and cursive highways that lapped up the day
The moon came out early
And I came late for dinner
Carrying a universe in my pocket
And carnations for angry rifles.
