Garage Sailor


there are definitely a few things better than the drudgery of a day’s work! this poem is how I might act out my impulse to end the day early.

Scuttle the click of keycaps
beneath calloused fingertips and
anxious gangplanks
cantilevered above
your business meetings -
strip from your office-soured clothing!

Jump into the port-side wake to
tred through the eddies of
weekday flotsam
for the trinkets, knick-knacks,
the neighborhood buried treasure;

but now hear this

Reach for the bargain lifesaver!
Like a ouija board on the water,
let it pull you up
the driveways;
new discount harbors,
navigating
the perfect price!
