I love this--the author relating to her speaker. So brilliant. I also love that the poem is violence-adjacent, and it highlights the complexity of near-misses.
Aye, aye, yae, yae, this is good. The author took me along every step of the way, where we have been, where we are, where something might be going. The Frito Bandito, now an almost loving earworm, as I think of "Dumbo and Marilyn Monroe," and speakers, speakers everywhere, not knowing of that which they speak, but reminding us that we do. Wonderful, thank you, Denise Duhamel! Aye, aye, yae, yae!

I love this one! So playful and the voice is so distinct.
