i’m at the age
where I begin to understand
why a man not primarily an author wrote so many books
there is always more to do
and have burnt my thumb enough
to know why church boys use
long brass stick-things to light deep candles
it pays to be careful
and i know why i’m not
like a seven year old
that pops up in the morning
and starts hopping and running around
kids can do that
i’ve done circles
and pop in the morning
so i get up sounding like someone eating
breakfast cereal out of a box
