After Moving My Lawn Chair to the Front Yard
Patterns
A large patch of bare trunk
in the middle of a cedar
across the street—I never
noticed it before, too busy
getting out of the car,
aligning my key horizontally
four steps before I reach
our front door. Should I fall
in line behind our neighbor
at the store, will I find
he also is balding?
