Litany - Thanks
To my left hand, with its royal blue smudges all along the pinky,
I thank you
And to static electricity, for making good use of a balloon,
I thank you too.
Thank you, thank you, to the plastic multicolored supersoaker
and to Michael Jackson's anti-gravity shoes
Gracias.
I give thanks to the almighty coin-changer
that replaces my need for thought with exact change,
and rolling wheels on luggage when I go to baggage claim.
Lovely energetic writing, April. This is precisely the kind of odd, ambiguous praise that may indeed lead to a "discovered subject." Keep stringing out the litany, allowing yourself room to meander, to follow one particular element in the litany when you want.
