A Piece of Cake


 

Vocation.
 
To please everyone is of course
mission impossible & my aim,
goal, immeasurable outcome:
to wrench the cistern from the
mensroom floor and heave it
through the window so as to
free the  inmates at last so as
IT’ll never happen again.    
 
IT, I said.
 
I also aim to irritate, aggravate,
confuse, provoke, tickle, tweak,
& toss stimulus packages freely
to poor & needy and be loved
for it & you might  think that’d
be a piece of cake but it’s more
like flipping 600 pound tractor
tires in the morning,  lifting rail
road ties, & heaving beer kegs
backwards over my head &
shoulders to warm up.
 
I overstate, as usual.
It's Joy.
Unpostponed.
It, I said.
