Into a cell phone:
“Did you mean to call me?”
Now do you understand why
it‘s important to vote?
Nice to see you,
but sorry, gotta run,
ten minutes on the meter.
Ever since the doctor told me
to lose some weight
I’ve been sucking in my belly.
I’m kinda glad I’m depressed
‘cause it takes the edge off my anxiety.
God, I hate this job. (Pause)
Do you think God heard that?
PERHAPS YOU'VE NOTICED
how sometimes
when a small photo
is enlarged
the image allows us
to go deeper into it
and sometimes
when music is turned up
the song moves us more
and moves more in us
finding spaces
unlocking places
the quieter version
left untouched
but perhaps you’ve also noticed
how sometimes
larger or louder
is just larger or louder
I think I’ll stop here
before I find myself
trying to say something
profound about
some simple thing
perhaps you’ve noticed
how a longer poem
is sometimes just longer
Laszlo Slomovitz, Ann Arbor, Michigan
