earth note 664


a hot afternoon
finding a reprieve
& laptop charging station
at the key west library
a wing under renovation
     crowded everywhere else
though still functional
     friendly
insights from a local poet
explaining the details
of the monthly poetry reading
maybe a little cliquish
but who cares
a poet should
have enough confidence
to barge thru any door
take down any symbol
or conventional assumption
'cause the world doesn't turn
on the whims
of safe discourse
there will always be danger
when you live in the margins
where there are no notes
where the blank space
sets you free
