April 19 poem

for 'Til Death Do Us Part 2015

The lore begins here: / The Shadowman was a joke / now immortalized

At the time of recording the first of
an unknowable number of episodes:
the domain is secured. Operations
happening concurrent with creation
of this premiere premier top tier podcast.
I am not tracking the number of times
Tim & Guy make space for Justin to laugh
himself off the mic, but that is the track
I'm on, wondering if I will ever
stop learning facts about a movie
I am determined never to watch.
I don't want to know.
No one's going to check the email
until or unless there's a lore-keeper.

The jokes will repeat / this is going to happen / until this thing ends

The picture on the front cover of Alice's Restaurant the Cookbook has Alice sitting in an armchair in her kitchen. She looks delighted. I remember reading in the book as a child that one should always have an armchair in one's kitchen. My experience has made cushions of seat pads on wooden chairs at the kitchen table. It is a place to bond with a book, a craft, a podcast, some organizing or tidying. It is where I most often enjoy the careening conversation of 'Til Death Do Us Blart, something I am in no way obligated to do, and yet.

Warm in the kitchen / redefining holiday / one year at a time

100 haiku challenge - 65

A full pot of tea
and a room bright with sunshine;
I breathe easily.
