Three Poems
By Mallory Whitten - Aug 16, 2017
two years after getting my dog
she just realizes when i am on my laptop typing
that words show up
so she is sitting here attentively
occasionally biting at the screen
diner in july
a kid walks in wearing a clinical face mask and winter gloves
no one is in the diner but me and the cook
are you guys open
i say yes
she says will you have room for us
i say what time
she moves her mask around with a gloved hand
and says dinner time
i say how many
she says there’s four of us
i say that shouldn’t be a problem
what vibration am i consuming
from the internet
i open facebook
“three years ago today!”
