today.

midnight peanut butter
in the oven
toasted bread
organic soy milk
but no one knows
it took two 
hours too long.

think about the man
and how he stood
using his feet
to be brave
in front of machines
made by logic
of a mindless yes
they said
you cannot
one against 
breaking waves
and hearts on
the ground cradling
dying words
firm skinned
fear of height
atop the city
of downward eyes.

wash the dishes
take out the trash
wipe the counter
scare the mice
turn off the light.
