Part of this safety is some routine locked in code

Predictable, like each next white stripe on the road

We stash away surprises underneath our several beds

Like clown coats and fire suits, as lost basketballs

Meander to the edge

But parts of this stasis are the details of your laugh

Against pillow cases, and down the stairs, and from the bath

The revive the verbs that strive to serve their gentle charity

Like Isis vs. velum, don't you ever tell then the things they do to me

So
