“A Rebirth Of Wonder?”
Every day, make a pledge
to find something where
you’ve never looked before.
Find a banker fried
on the arc lights of power;
a pair of lacy panties in
your grandpa’s sock drawer;
cum stains you can’t recall
on your best umbrella;
a hundred silver dollars
in the cookie jar;
two used condoms in
Aunt Lydia’s jello salad;
Nixon’s missing 18 minutes on
the 8 track of your Gremlin;
The Ark Of the Covenant
behind your broken fridge;
a hit of Owsley acid
in your mom’s diaphragm.
Wonder, wonders, wonderful.
Forget a rebirth of wonder.
The truly marvelous lurks
everywhere around
waiting to be found.
