Poem at a Pet Friendly Hotel



MY GOLDFISH AT THE HOTEL MONACO, SALT LAKE CITY

He is bigger than life
in the optics of his little bowl
swimming around the perimeter
kissing the glass
wiggling his lucent tail.

I have named him Fred
while smoking my weekly cigarette,
a Dunhill red
made to "unique standards of perfection."

My ex smoked Dunhills
once in a while
around the time she took up jogging
twenty-five years ago.

The BYU Philharmonic plays
a Christmas hymn on the Sony.
A car drives by slowly in the dark.
Fred angles down to touch the pretty pebbles.

Suddenly he darts
about as if scared he's running
out of time and space.

Easy, Fred.
Your world appears to work,
and so, today, does mine.
