1743

What are you doing on Wednesday night?
Up on your toes, unable to focus,
Playing "blessing of the animals"
With a watering can and flash bulbs;
It's cool and clear and I'm hoping
Like a mythological creature, the last
To climb out of the box of chaos.
On Wednesday night as on every other night
I'm the present moment, the ink
Shining as bright as the aisle, the aisles.
