On May 31st, 2019 I tripped
and skinned my palm
the local character who wears the
Santa Claus blazer told me
the world was ending
in 15 seconds, 15 seconds
14, 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8...
I see Santa Claus Blazer
out and about in Covid World
way more than I ever did before
lounging on the stoops
walking in the middle of the empty street
scarf draped, sounding off
