It's Still Life

Off a Duck’s back

Here’s another list of
water off a duck’s back.

The sun’s glare, and
crow’s feet.

Rain
on your picnic.

Anything that’s faux.
My memory.

Ice cubes that melt too fast.
Tepid tea.

Armpits
dark with sweat.

Rain
on your glasses.

Tip-of-your-tongue words, and
rain.
