LEVITY
Let’s
gather what’s left of helium
and
hide it inside a song on the radio.
Let’s
let balloons be balloons
and
not a symbol for something else.
Let’s
take the monkey from the monkey house
and
the music inside the monkey
and
the bell inside a heart
and
swing them from a eucalyptus tree
or
stroll them along a graffiti coast.
Let’s
agree on what color a color is
before
we get reckless with our apostrophes.
Let’s
go as far as we can go
with
our red confessions on,
balancing
on shifty bay front rocks.
And
let’s do all this with lottery tickets
and
periodic tables in our pockets.
And
then let’s remember that somewhere
Potus,
the clairvoyant pooch,
is
seeing what we can’t see and reading
the Logos inside every logo yet to be drawn.
