North Dakota Nice
It’s moving from lived memory
to historical memory, our kids will
have to tattoo pictures of us
on their arms. He has remained
North Dakota Nice, but she
never does the primordial stomp
anymore. It was not a case of mistaken
faith though she thought it might be
for a while. There were shifts in
perception followed by shifts
in expectations. Nor will this be
rebroadcast. She had a
devil-may-care attitude
and what he wouldn’t give
to flag that girl down again.
Who wins? Not the found objects.
not those of us living at this
school for the blind.
Hummingbirds sometimes
fly in reverse. Oh,
to be on the back of one
right now.
