For To Day

Swivel then stare 
at the purple flowers
from your chair

Follow the instructions
of your eyes
tagged to the denim
surprise

Become vulgar
in your jacket
misreading your
second personal day
as an infinite retirement
as unrefined
as too many similes
under too much sun

Relax and fail
to be certain
and be unsure
if you have failed
to be

More prescriptions
for the sickly mind
an adverb for
how things
have been
going

Glancing
blows softer
than this freckle
of a breeze
too gentle
to begin
to be wind

The purple flowers
notice and put
the third people on
notice: this will
be the kind of
day not to be
against
