FINDING IN

The question is
Daddy on the speakerphone?
Carry your own damn
Impedimenta,
Baseball cap on a
Watermelon. Way in
The back with
The past-their-bedtime crowd.
The art of the headache
Is remembering to praise
The wounded animal.

Tension rising
But why, exactly?
Is all of epistemology.
Prayer to the notebook:
Keep me invisible.

Music we long
To provide for
The evening station
Rises up through
The primaries,
And singing, I'm
Compounding observation
In the bloom.
