"Everything feels like the future but us."


waiting in a Marriot hotel
listening to the bars squeak
as Simone Biles swings from them
she gave it a try

the bars squeak in Tokyo
but I'm alone in the Marriot hotel
the squeak, the silence, the fall

this is the future
subtle, uncaring
only technically amazing

I read it in the Catholic Worker magazine
"Everything feels like the future but us."
