In an attempt to end our feeling that every night
we should watch Something Somehow Guaranteed
To Be Good, Meaningful or Funny or One of the
Movies Serious Critics Take Seriously we chose
the Bob Fosse series last night. Because he can dance.
Because she can too. Because of Sam Rockwell
and Michelle William Wonderful Both. Still
it was hard to watch What a Shmuck Bob Fosse was
and how, for her own reasons, she helped him to succeed.
He thought he could Get Away With Everything
Because He Could Dance.
Distanced party in our building
two floors together four and five
stood on the fourth floor far apart,
holding drinks, and Dora who sang with Philip
Glass for 12 years writes books
about crocheting eight crochet books now
Dora when pressed although she said No
at first, thin and yoga strong, she
agreed to sing a song and we all hugged
our respective walls and listened.
I can be on this very same couch a snow day or two
without having to do anything much
finish the new Max Gross novel
Elizabeth gave me
roast the big chicken
in the middle of our small fridge
watch 18 Cows Palestinian animated movie
Judy recommended would it be possible
to feel that today for reasons
of pandemic and snow I can
just sit right here?
No line at SHE WOLF BAKERY
average wait time Sunday mornings can be an hour
bread was not sold out today
watermelon radishes chioggia beets
pickles Martin’s pretzels honey crisps
we bought our once happily free roaming chicken
yesterday at Lincoln Center farmer’s market after
the vaccine. And about the vaccine (dose one Pfizer)
Bellevue Hospital oldest public hospital in the country
impressive volunteers my shot a Georgia
nurse who’d volunteered for Stacey Abrams
Peter’s from a female Asian doctor
so many people volunteering this is the country
we know has been there all along.
We are going to Bellevue Hospital
South Lobby 26th and First
for our first vaccine. This has not been
an easy process, additional pandemic anxiety
making this appointment (we called at 12:01
AM as per a tip from Next Door online
neighborhood personals column) got the appointment
yesterday when I was coming home from the dentist
I missed a call from Bellevue Hospital no message
tried to call back thinking they were going to
cancel the appointment a tape said If You Got a Call
from Bellevue We Will Probably Call You Back. They
actually said probably. We waited and then
they did call back said they might be out
of the vaccine by Monday. Come in tomorrow
morning instead, they said.
