Poem for January 13

Remove your old baseball cap, toss it into the stands, let some hopepful lad catch it.

Wad your morning paper, don't line the litter box where it still replays yesterday's events.

File your uneven nails,

drain the lukewarm bath,

close the open cereal box,

grab hold of your hair and pull.

Pull!

You can rotate your own moon.

Yes.

Look at my palms, open flat, nothing but sun pressed reflection.
