Phones that ring without being picked up
What, tell me, what is leadership?
Termite mounds on the oval
Sand on the basketball court
Locks on every door and window
Hey you, yes you, are you a philosopher?
Phones that ring again after being hung
up.
How long does it take to sweep a court?
Cockroaches that live it up at night
A car beeping about something
That snake still loose in the playroom
Will the prayers stick?
Books found in the library at last
Computers considering access
Padlocks glittering on gates
‘Electronics’—spoken
as an explanation
The question I meant to remember to ask
Wasp nests in the ceiling of the court
A phone finally answered
Frogs in the grass
Water pipes leaking happily
Her daughter
Yesterday my daughter
Do you work here? Where?
Dogs looking for the children’s lunches
