You can rearrange
words at the museum.
An offering inside
standard admission.

Not the numbers.

Age and stream
strength. Shorter.
Less.

You look good for.

The bending of mothers
before they tire
of mothering.

You can grow
angry at the eyes
on your body.
You can draw them
to you.

Celebrate being
born. The joy in
the color blue.
Your watch’s shine.
