Grasso SF
The woman in the black Kia
doesn't mind driving
sometimes, in the morning
her husband kisses
bending down beside the lights aglow
to reach her steady face
tall, from the other side,
he walks that way around
a meetup at the trunk
as if again on the playground
(there was less concrete then)
backpack still in tow,
he saunters as he steps
round the corner, out of view
maybe going anywhere—
or just far enough out
until the bell rings
and he finds a way home
