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.
