The Real Dark
In Temple Terrace
the electricity is off
so I must make this quick
before my lap-
top losses power
My power over my own life
is diminishing to a point
I find easy to handle
Living in Dr. Hue’s condo
while he lectures in Taiwan
is a godsend
He breaks all the rule’s
of the Homeower’s Ass.
…has a vegetable garden
& a clothes line in the sideyard
This evening I see
sunset over Alligator Lake,
take my shirts off
the line and listen
to the tomatoes
sing Let It Be
Tonight the dark will be Dark

“He breaks all the rules” is a fun lead in to the stanza, and the tone of the last stanza echoes that rule breaking with ease.

sing Let It Be
Wonderful. (I’ve been pondering a poem, Did Dinosaurs Sing, but your singing tomatoes, their choice of song, kick that idea to the curb.)
