blocked driveway
day
after day
after day, not always the same
car, but damn… do they not see the orange
tickets on yesterday’s sedans? do they not see
me exiting and entering in my own little blue vehicle?
do they not see the curb ending?
do they only see the overgrown-ness to our outside plants
and the other houses in the area that have converted
old garages to apartments and rooms and assume? or do they just see
a space away from construction signs and other cars
and think ‘thank goodness’ and then
that’s that?

maybe it’s time to put out a sign that says
‘do not block driveway’
or ‘active driveway’ or something like that

but i’m not convinced
they’ll even see that
if they haven’t seen
any of these many other indicators
in the past…

playing silly video games
of nature reclaiming industry
and religion
and it is one of very few things
offering me
solace
and comfort
and peace these days

[“Cloud Gardens” is the name of this game
should you need a similar
respite]
