This helmet is hard
try falling head-first
from your high-rise
and live long enough to tell all
this suit so heat-resistant
you could swim on the sun
which is liquid and nuclear
with intermittent flare-ups
These wrap-around shades
polarize so much light
when you put them on
the world becomes composed
in the quattrocento
every fleck and fiber
virginal blue robe
every straw in manger
dandruff flake on shoulder
as if beneath microscopes
before your blindness
This bungee cord so elastic
you'll drop miles
before you'll hit a rock
and live to tell about it
How you'll sink
before these bands of care
can lift you to ground zero
But how many times
must you bounce back?
The poison in this bottle
is so child-proof
you'll take a decade
to prize the cap off
but the time-released caps
take forever to dissolve
and the slo-mo hemlock
coincides with your life-span.
