entrepreneur

i see the small opportunities we have to make things right.
i think it should be a career. you know, like a professional post-it boost-er.
write down some random observation like, "today we begin again"
and, even if it has no meaning to you, it's vague enough
and pure enough
to straighten the curve of a bent neck to the sun
to smooth the tight stress behind eyelids
to remove the post-motion vibration we get after spinning
on a verdant front lawn
with mini-vans creeping past at a cool 25 mph
and a boy across the street,
basking in the sweetness of a firecracker asks,
"dad, where do the planes sleep at night?"

today we begin again,
