Concerts

At Woodstock, at a school in Nepal, at an all-ages punk show

In a marriage, in a divorce, on a pilgrimage

Going natural, looking professional, shaving it all off

Collecting bottles, tossing leftovers, taking out the garbage

Smoking in the girls’ room, sneaking a drink, napping

The good-looking one, the one in need, the one that almost was

The kind you’re born with, the kind you choose, the kind that teach Catholic school

A family recipe, a childhood memory, a Depression-era handout

Waiting tables, dyeing textiles, separating goats in heat

As a refuge, as a threat, as a place to live
