How could you not see this


he said/she said
I believe her, that the corrugated tube
and the window slats were sitting right 
next to the air conditioner, waiting
patiently for her brother to pick them up,
to deliver them to their mother
(who so generously loaned such appliance 
in the heat of summer, of smoke and ozone)
the ac arrived, without the required hardware
to vent to the hot and smoky outside but 
he said he knew nothing about it, and
she said everything was right together,
obviously together.
I went back to the rental house and thankfully,
the corrugated tube and its accompanying window slat
were left out for me to pick up
at my convenience
it was actually not convenient, but that's ok
I believe her, not him.
