when I woke up there was no time it was dark there were too many curtains to open too many I couldn’t reach and the gray stayed I laid facedown and when I woke again the butter had melted on the radiator in the kitchen twitching out of that pose that facedown doze my yoga composed of sideways stretches catching that wave and saving that grace amazing lazing in the widelong mornings we are born into different days in new ways every time an easy dime dropped used to turn into a call to the other side but crying out we awaken doubts and put the sheep to sleep counting our numbers and waiting the next turn hurrying through courage and grabbing the remote the next easy out troutstreams away the salmon can’t stay in one place and neither will that rainbow as the pain goes the time shows itself makes its wealth heard spends it all in one place chases the heat of earlyhour morning dry throat and scratchy sheets meeting a mattress pressed into lethargy it is too early to be too late to see too wide open we are hoping again and then we have dinner then we begin to take note we have remote chances which do not all mean channels there’s a way to handle this and a way toward scandalous rejoinders rejoicing in the season coming up with reasons for the sudden summer after endless slumber we’ve been eating breakfasts on the porch we’ve torched our good looks and our chemistry books but we are careful with the history with the mysteries of literature with the sure thing that we can’t quite bet on the whirring fan and the tickets to be bought we have caught up with our wandering but onward with the wondering search and find and plant that line somewhere in the sand either in front and dare to cross or behind with crumbs stealthy-tossed in the escape a caper served on a salad or in the middle of some ballads just like homophones’ll get you the truth brewed up fresh again with lemon or come again regards hardening gardening with new boots in cahoots with an owl and wisebacked scowl behind each mirror listening for clearer instructions further introductions to the next step the easykept easylost constrictors boa or otherwise because if it’s just a mess of memories then forgiveness please and a new map but we’ll cap this one off and toss it to the lost and found call the pound and charge by the kilo
