Left phone on a stage in Philly,
flew home from parents’ house to GA—
6 states away

I think I should
find the good 
in the solitary
the very smell of aloneness.
Phoneless,
I smoke a few bowls
and fold some laundry. 
 
I think I should
find the good
in my independence
to make my own choices
and silence the voice 
that says to obey.
