Kathryn Bold – USA (PJ30)

all knotted up worry beads

long DMV line
I flirt
with No. F14

over dinner
a friend admits
to an affair
breaking apart
a breadstick

both parents
dead at sixty one —
imagine my surprise
the day I turned
sixty-two

Saturday morning
duck pin bowling league
spare me

one man’s umbrella
another woman’s parasol
mine a question mark

faculty party
Ph.D. candidate
sucks down the half
half empty
full bodied bottle
