Good night, patio
Good night, chairs
Good night, laundry drying
out in cool night air
Good night, barking dogs
Good night, yowling cats
Good night, swooping thing
that I think is a bat
Good night, little kitchen
all crusty with use
Good night, moldy bathroom;
you've seen much abuse
Good night, peeling paint
and good night, crumbling wall
Good night, all the knick-knacks
still lining the hall
Good night, plastic Jesus
asleep in a drawer
Good night, framed old placemat,
whatever you're for
Good night, tiny washer
Good night, clogged-up shower
Good night, Gilmore Girls on TV at all hours
Good night, green-roofed school
living across the street
Good night, all you neighbors
I never did meet
Good night, open fields
just dripping with stars
Good night, walking path
Good night, window bars
Good night, pokey mattress
Good night, dirty floors
Good night, quiet pueblo
Good night, creaking door
Good night to the past year
teeming with memoranda,
Good night, little house
here on Calle La Manda
