salt collections
do not think on these things and fall to the wayward.
the ocean did not pattern its floors for our comfort
in fact, the sun does not rise for our sanity.
you could choose though, to think that
all above and on top and below
this boiled egg, coddled in
darkness will rotate for you
to learn to tie the knot and then untie,
your own handiwork is the game.
until we will pass our fortune-cookie
wishes through our silk-worm bodies
and scatter the lucky numbers for the next
more years will go in the shelled wrappers
of the notes, grocery lists, and post-it notes
that keep well past their hand-written expiration.
it will go on until our ambitions shelving
unit collapses, we will fall and find
the ocean did not pattern its floors for our comfort
the sun, it does not rise for our sanity.
