No door

My palm on stubble
that stretches to the horizon
In a clearing owned by birds
a large clueless beast perturbs

I’m the subject of noisy discussions
afraid to clear my throat
It’s June 7, 2026 and
Lewis the cat is missing

A chip tells them where he is
Everyone is the same shade of brown
Tall, tan, terrified
The birds have located Lewis

The October curfew imprisons
an apple, a pumpkin, beans
I’m waiting for the dream to dissolve
A misprogrammed bus zipper
