melodie mcdaniel seems to know
there is an apparent and never ending staring contest on graham ave
people stare while waiting for pizza
while standing on their porch absorbing the morning
while lurking on the corner
they stare at me while i walk the dog
they watch her pee in the street
they have nothing better to do, it seems
sometimes i think i should stare in reverse
stare while they lurk by the bodega
stare while they eat their pizza
critique their outfit, the way they chew
maybe i will
maybe i won’t.
I put wet paper towels or wash clothes in the freezer, lay on my bed in front of the fan and let the frozen towel sit on my face.
sometimes i stick my first aid ice pack down my shirt.
