One Block East of a Large University Campus
Friday, May 2nd, 2014

When the sixty-year-old told us it was “yard work” season, we suspected it was the first time he’d used air quotes.
Our street sign is gone again.
“We live at the corner of Hope and Midterms,”
I’m going to tell the next guy who asks
Although hope is frequently disguised as beer pong
Shirtless baseball in the street
This time with a real ball
And at home base–yes–
My bag of recycling
Wine bottles and vegetable cans instead of beer by the case
I go outside to mow
But my deadlines aren’t clustered in April.
