1. When sometimes
centuries don’t correct
themselves in perfect
gold kept time, making
tick marks so striking
they’re printed on your retina,
so everything looks like
you’re trapped by luminosity—
get very frustrated with it.
2. Whatever inclination
you may have to the
opposition, don’t let
your disposition become
so rebellious and sticky,
clinging like the insides
of a grape, and leaving slime
everywhere so that it is
just a big rambling mess.
You don’t even remember
how you got
from screaming about
the Taliban and mercenaries
and now you’re all about
the grape slime.
you see?
3. I don’t really mind
when you forget
you’re not Newton.
4. Make it so that when you chase
equinox, and I’m stuck in woolen
apparel, fit for the hiking
I won’t do,
make it go down like peroxide,
bleaching my insides
white as last night’s heaven.
