Toy ships or pilot fish are floating memories.
And then, as the nonthreatening prerecorded sounds
drift down the aisle, and echoes of answering machine messages
meant for lost children eerily burble up
through the opaque blue glass museum display case
water, it starts to seem ok, a plastic chair waits for you,

water, it starts to seem ok, a plastic chair waits for you,
having escaped the rocks of Kitchen Appliances,
to sink in and make yourself at home.

ReplyDeleteOur good friend Hazen has been once again stripped by Blogger of his commenting privileges while on the road. Google, that Dark Side version of Motel 6 -- they WON'T be leaving the light on.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, Hazen is made of stern stuff and not so easily discouraged. He has kindly sent along this "refused-by-Blogger" comment by the back-channel slow-boat.
"Opaque. So fitting for these times.

"My thought response, no doubt inflected by being sick and far from home, was: 'Don’t let them out.'"
And, inflected in my own bent direction as ever, I thought, too right.
