for Emily K. Proeber
Simply genius,
Her unnecessarily large words
Make people jump.
A tortoise sleeps in her windowsill.
Sitting on the couch by herself,
She miscalculates sickness and misses
The end of the world.
She looks for the Mayans,
Draws a white elephant
For a 2013 calendar.
This collective amnesia
Rattles her picture window.
