16: Spring
00:05:00
Spring by Arda Collins I was making a roast.The smell wafted from the kitchen into the living room,through the yellow curtains and into the sunlight.Bread warmed in the oven,and in my oven mitt, I managed to forgetthat I’d ever punched someone in the face.It seemed so long ago, I might not even have done it.I went out into the yard before darkand saw last year’s rake on the lawn.It was a cheap metal onethat tore up the old grass.I did that for a while.When I went back in the house,the roast was burned blackand the bread was hard.I sat on the couch and watched it get dark.I was getting hungry, but I felt afraidof seeing the refrigerator light go on.Then I would have to turn on other lights,and then what would I do?I heard a car pass once in a while.I thought about a time on vacationwhen I bought a newspaper and tomatoesfrom a supermarket I’d never heard of.I remembered an old bathing suit I had,but I couldn’t think of what happened to it.I could move away.I could get in the car right nowand drive all night,as soon as I had a sandwich.Turkey, tomato, mayo,Swiss, lettuce. It was exciting.I still had my shoes on. I drove to a truck stop.It was bright inside and I loved the world.I bought a sandwich and ate it from my lap while I drove.When I pulled up to my house it was quiet.    "Spring" from "It Is Daylight" by Arda Collins.

Coming soon: The Slowdown
00:04:14
Life is fast, intense and sometimes bewildering. But poetry offers a way of slowing things down, looking at them closely, mining each moment for all that it houses. Look for new episodes with U.S. Poet Laureate Tracy K. Smith in late November.
