Attention Must be Paid
2020
Have you noticed
No bees arrived this year to dine
On sex-starved flowers
Brilliant in the sun
Have you noticed
No rain fell since last October
Have you noticed
How still the house became
With absent feet and vacant
Doorways closing and grating
Open upon no-one at all
And did you note
My heart is broken?
Social Security sucks back
His monthly check.
Ah, they noticed.
