Gogyohka
is
life's
pause
button

Today
the daffodils
feel
the furthest
they've ever been

After watching
Dancing with the Stars
I get ready for bed
rip off my shirt
like a Latin dancer

Reason gets up early
to wind its clock
while feeling
sleeps in
dreaming of dancing past the metronome

The generations of men
crowded into a room
elbow to elbow
not knowing
whether to talk or listen
