Tikka Masala for the Win

December 2, 2020 / firmlov / Leave a comment

it is not easy

to replicate restaurants

alas, we shall try

this quarantine brings

a new love for my kitchen

(lucky to have it)

even Bruce ate it

without a single worry

(there was no curry!)

The Blues. For Blue.

November 3, 2020 / firmlov / Leave a comment

every election:

because they are so diverse

urbanites vote blue

all it really takes

is a short conversation

with someone different

What Is Left?

October 21, 2020 / firmlov / Leave a comment

hours of phone calls

texts pleading in languages

i don’t even speak

setting up my room

with a yardstick and some hope

ready for today

social media

comments on our lack of space

(century-old school)

2020 wins.

after this, i just give up.

no one came to school.

to walk empty halls

without the student voices

cold. slow. loveless. death.
