Lovelorn Poet in Brooklyn, NY: Astronomical Proportions (mindgallery)

Astronomical Proportions by mindgallery

We left a refrigerator full of condiments in the back yard
before we left for our summer camp
reunion

this year it’s conveniently located just, ten thousand
light years away from
home

Please water all the flowers while were gone and don’t
forget to read to the
dogs

Dylan the golden enjoys Walt Whitman while little Andy
the miniature poodle has a thing
for Man Ray

they both enjoy looking at the pictures as well and while
they can’t ask
questions

we’re sure you’ll know exactly how to deal with their
thirst for poetry and the art
of observation

We’ve been listening to the radiant background noise
from your accumulated
algorithms

and are happy to report that we’ve been able to provide
enough love for everyone
this summer

* a note to self production

A lovely, years-old poem from mindgallery and the Brooklyn Missed Connections. The perfect send-off for my annual beach week / end of the season vacation. See you in September.
