Sunlight Travels Eight Minutes To Reach Us

After Caroline Cabrera

A lot can happen in eight minutes
it’s an eternity
a dog can hold its breath that long
or snore
until the sun wears out
c’mon man
chew a bone or something
reward me
I’m writing this in a laundromat
and
have work to do
unlike the sun who is worshipped
but indifferent
who is loved
but indifferent
who has no shame
unlike dogs and underwear
if you train them
they can play the piano like Art Tatum
