I'll Tip My Hat


 The phone you cracked- a bow I will

You propped it on the windowsill.

That bruise you got- my hands I’ll clap

You didn’t see the door of glass.

The food you burned- I’ll give a toast

Because you thought to boil roast

The game you lost- I shake your hand

You thought chess was candy land.

That F you got- my hat I tip

Because the page you failed to flip.

The life you live- I say hooray

You did this all in just one day.

    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.

    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
