Cafe Con Leche

Alexandra Grant, Antigone 3000

Showers
Then breaks with some sunlight
And then showers again
The sky has immense power
And so commands our actions
By what it will and what it will not
Allow us to do and yet remain dry
Showers - sunlight - showers
From below we watch and wait
Raindrops tumbling from the sky

Drinking good strong coffee (cafe con leche)
And listening to Antonio Sanchez play the drums
What is tomorrow
I don’t know

____________________

Nighttime is a prison cell
Daytime is a smoke in the prison yard
Dangerous
After 10 months the pandemic still grows
And it’s the people that recede
Time is the jailer
The sentence is death
Or life
