At Night Re-Write

tea kettle steaming tops
stops of whistle squals-
ice cubes pop
pop prom plastic-
tea bag dangles warmly dutifully
capturing-
oats brans fruits seeds nuts
white cream of cow blend-
tummy accepts
tummy appreciates
tummy absorbs
tummy content-
books steam
loud stories-
kids pop
dance with groove-
farmhands arise
work without gloves-
clerks designers artists writers activists
concerts decorated with word-
world denies
world defuses
world dissembles
world content-

at night with
things in mind-
at night with
working fingers-
at night with
friends
tea
cereal
fruits and
nuts-
at night with
books
kids
farmhands and
concerts-
at night we
awake-
at night we
re-write.
