Evening Stroll (Day 890)

Televisions tuned   like sharks  

to blood and mayhem   leaking 

Caribbean light into the once-dark 

world through windows 

like stages   on which   each night 

neighbors’ family dramas are 

presented for our viewing pleasure  

though we abstain   preferring 

the well-worn company of our own 

quiet breathing   hands loosely 

entwined   as we amble 

beneath a spinning diamond sky
