Train me even more to watch, think, drink with my eyes
Two ancient bodies, side by side
Four wrinkled hands load linen laundry
Shakingly
Mothballs testify to a lifetime of loyalty
For a moment frozen together
Watching the sheets tumble clockwise
Around around around
Train me even more to watch, think, drink with my eyes
Two new lovers, face to face
Four lips cascading praises, beauty, dreams
Endlessly
Adorations stream across empty Asian dinner plates
Day to night, night to day
Eyes piercing through private pretences, searching for signs of fidelity
Faithful future fun
Train me even more to watch, think, drink with my eyes
Two terrified creatures, hand in hand
Ten fingers fidget confused, carefully touching softly
Fearfully
First-time father cradles his newborn daughter, Johnson’s baby powder brings welcome relief
Milk in, milk out, the top, the bottom
Zooming beyond the tiny mess for operating instructions, clasping levitating limbs to fasten the giant diaper
Helpless happiness hope
