reversal

if you’re the

happy hippie

i’m the grand bitch

 

the unexpected

even to myself

 

the merry-go-round

the carnival music

done

 

i’m going to be happy

pen in hand

apply soothing lipstick

construct new easy chair

where writer breathes —

sip from fluted glass

with looted leaves

the paper subway

moves without delay
