last night I “made a joke” to customers
about throwing a dirty table out the window
just to be rid of the nuisance
they laughed and left a $20 tip
now brain on a new loop
every table tipping over
wide arcs through the air, scattering goods forthright
for months now in self-reflection
my figure has been in bed, hunched over the laptop screen
one leg bent up behind my neck
it amazes me, and me alone, the amount of time I deliberate
the images my own mind has created
it is true I have strived for flexibility
also to be honest and prepared and kind
so when the tables turn
fuel supply will be fully stocked
as for when tables fly
well, acrobatics are fair game
