A FEW (MIS)UNDERSTANDINGS
How when waking without glasses
the cars on the freeway are birds
flying past the window
so large and so many
*
The dance people do with each other
on the sidewalk. They move to the left,
no, to the right, then left again, or maybe right
*
The way a heart leaps and then stops
when you request olive juice
for your dirty martini
*
Springing forward,
falling back
*
I used to wish at 11:11 until I started
worrying about time zones, which begs
another question—
if I keep traveling west, will I live forever?
