: rara avis

it's been a long winter
but now we're back at camp.

i heard you coughing
in bed this morning.
do you think we are to have a rough
allergy season this year?

well, no matter. i grew myself
out of my hay fever last spring
i simply said, Not this year.

i've lied about my age because i don't
get asked often enough.

i've made jokes i don't believe in
out of habit and community.

something keeps me young
something helps you sleep at night
these are probably the same somethings.

open your eyes, we're losing feeling.
close your mouth, we're losing sleep.
