It’s Unanimous, by Maureen Owens


Riding the roils
of whatever is next
we hold each other,
coupled, tight,
in the smoke
of brewing chaos.
Beloved,
the world is so absurd
our disbelief is unanimous —
all two of us —
four feet planted
for the wild ride.
Of course,
the animals are along;
that's twenty feet
gripped to the ground —
gotta count for something — eh?
