i bought a Chicago Cubs jersey today
i’ve been tracking the days i am outside
and whether outside was something brave
whether the definition of brave had changed
whether i had changed what it means
i came across a recording of Hà Nội
i was recording the last quarantine sun
after the sun had begun to set
beginning a year of choices i’ll soon know
beginning with knowing that i made the choice
i came across the Chicago Cubs jersey in Hà Nội
i googled which player wears the jersey #1
before finding it at the store
to find it is Clark the Cub
to find that i’ve been in my room these past 3 years
