The elephant removes
His foot from my back

I awake
Legs V shaped ready for the world
Eyes like sparklers underwater

The ice is extremely then
But I will lose the weight
Required to skate by

I’ve learned a lot
From a fish’s eyes

Scheduling work
Outside the pain clinic

Sunshine disposal
A new zoo army

I hear the dogs barking
At the distant rain

A condescending smile
Perhaps I need it more than
I care to admit

Or perhaps I am just
Tickling myself in a mirror

The feather touches
My knowing under side

And then it floats away
