Labor Day

No massed marchers down these streets today—
Squirrels and birds the only pedestrians.

Celebrated by moving furniture—
And scrubbing an obstinate counter.

Not a single phone call all day—
Instead making love at 3 p.m.

Tomorrow reality returns—
Those in power hold all the cards.

But I still have my ace to play—
Memory of one almost-perfect day.
