Air gushes openwindows, the driver surveyspoplar, maple, oak; considers the human body—toenails, heart, spleen—seven years to renovatecompletely. Bit by slice, cell by cell.Recently the dog chomped glitter flakeson couch cushions. How could she resistChristmas?Glassy specks litter shaggy, black fur,small constellations walk about the house,shooting stars up and down hallways.The salesman said it all washes out with water,the one thing that won’t come off microfiberis, of course, glitter.The driver regards the furniture’s shimmer,the possibility of picking off each piece by hand.I’ve lost my glitter.Something to polish, to restore.The road and stray cat whizz by. I supposeI am the driver.LITTLE UNINVITED MIRRORS
