Activity Room
John Bargowski
 
 
My mother wants nothing to do with the puzzle 
 two other residents, 
 
whose wheelchairs have been rolled up 
 to a folding card table, 
 
are trying to put together --
 a west-side shot of the New York skyline 
 
broken up into a thousand pieces, 
 the stubborn morning smog 
 
she could see from the apartment 
 she had to give up Photoshopped out, 
 
the OT insisting Mom join in the fun, 
 taking my mother's stroke-locked hand 
 
and guiding it to 
 a corner piece that's an easy fit, 
 
Mom's head craning over 
 a missing section of the murky1 river 
 
she swam in as a girl 
 before her fingers begin to shovel 
 
through half-built walls, skyscraping towers, 
 pushing aside everything 
 
that's been pieced back together 
 to shove a jigsaw2 shape 
 
into a hole she's found 
 in the skyline.
