laughing like a hammer,1
or a chorus --
a semi-
efficient
call to the body2 in storage
 when
nothing is
no longer that shade
of blue,3
will a hand reach to sound the alarm,
or will the days begin
to fester,4
or will soft birds
carry our hands
, momentarily remembering
what it is to revel en masse5
under the body of the sun
Footnotes to a Wave Pool in
Missouri, or a Soon Thereafter
