Long Island City Afternoon

It was a long day.

The Costco traffic

could not be explained.

Horns building 

an aural firmament

of fearful sound

above and all around us.

In the basement 

we simply lost

the energy to whisper.

What is it they are buying

Just two days deep

into this planet-dancing

leap

of not-a-leap

year?

I was angry. 

How was it I was caught?

I do not drive

I do not shop

in bulk.

We checked the news.

What do they know

that I 

don’t?
