dissecting the whitsun weddings

the book club 
has resorted to zoom
for their get togethers.
the connections
though are weak.
sit closer, speak up.
one says.
what are you drinking. 
hold the cup
up to the screen.
i should put some clothes
on another says.
i've been in this bathrobe
for weeks.
what's the book today. or
tonight. it is dark out, i guess.
does anyone here
know how to sync pandora
to my speakers?
the whitsun weddings,
ingrid says.
take out your books
and turn to page 17.
we're going to talk about
poetry today.
i hate poetry, one man says.
they never say
what they mean.
