We all lived here quietly together

I was late in an agitated middle of
cars diverted onto First, all of us
driving thinking shit
tapping breaks, gas,
steering wheel waiting for work,
craning. the answer
next morning in a headline: woman fatally stabbed
at bus stop. waiting for work for the morning to continue the day to begin, her life-

the writer said the sister said She loved going out
with her husband and going to the airport,
to watch planes land.

i drive to work picturing a plane's halting landing

Stop.

the writer said the sister said Someone assaulted her. They took everything, and ran.
