target, home depot, liquor store. MSP airport across hwy 72.

the jet
just when it first
flies
away from you
and sprinkler heads first spit
in unison
on mulched daylilly

there are no
sounds so
weary

in the parking lot
the people pass

a girl
with her two
best friends laughs
her new
hysterical laugh
she has no idea
what else to do

the night approaches
with its smoker's cough

does god forgive
if we simply misunderstand?
