You Can'T Smother a Person With a Pillow

We begin the zoom call
I only look at myself
Most of me is taken up
With the bedroom window

I imagine a large
Serpentine creature
Of folklore at the window
That only I can see

I imagine a cassowary
At the window next
Then some boiled nudes 
A Texas blind salamander 

Without the moon
There would be no nighttime
There are some the size 
Of washing machines 

A friend sends me a message
He doesn't believe in spacewalks 
He believes in three days at the gym
Followed by loud reading
