Lantern
A paper star, torn a little, sits beneath the other light, the one I take with me when I’m torn myself. Its pink corners smoke joints out back while I’m asleep, but I take the other light with me, so it’s okay. The blanket from the Navajo sweatshop covers the television, but it’s so expensive to buy union-made cloth. The lights are not united to stand, but they call time together. The clocks all borrow their annoying voices from those same lights, but as I said in the beginning, I take one of them with me, under whatever cover is chosen by the soil.
