Mother draped a shawl of morning light
over the trees. Little Lewis
is not asleep. We kept the hotel room
very cold. I couldn't see him
because of the shroud she wrapped me
in. Father dissolved not early
enough. We kept the lobby filled
with books that got booted
away. Now that fat woman and her
fat daughter filled
with I saw a opossum scurry
across the parking lot too
nights ago (that turned and
watched me with a skulled-up
face) are getting into their car and
driving off. Father allows this nicely
burnished air to cave into the space
he filled. Little Lewis climbs
inside. The hotel room kept us
almost asleep enough this weekend.
John Bennett is a very funny man.
