   Refrain

   I buy tomatoes, I buy onions, I buy tea.
   The pantry is stocked with sweets but my tongue
   needs savory. Here is my troublesome past
   come back– it coasts across the interstate
   without brakes, slaps down the bill, rearranges
   all the furniture. Out there, a white haze smudges
   the bank above the road. A brown thrasher in the yard
   mouths everything twice: *Consider, consider.*
   What I imagine he says is good advice.

   No brown thrashers out here. I think the complaining bird this morning was a house sparrow, but y’all know how good a birder I am :-)
