Waiting for the Fall, or
The Uncertainty of the Plague

—After The Uncertainty of the Poet by Giorgio de Chirico

“Bananas brown in the fridge,”
he said, grabbing the bunch
from the crisper and tossing
it at me. Stay-at-home takes
a toll. “Hang it all!” I did with
a toss onto the pendant lamp
in the middle of the kitchen.
“Funny. Until they drop.” I
thought funnier: we need
mitigation miracles.
