Today’s Project 

This morning,

let’s balance the world.

To the depressed offer laughter,

hinges to the rigid,

trip the solemn general on his horse, intentionally,

for the sad bureaucrat, open a window with vistas to the sea,

loose the strings on sardine cans tied to cats’ tails,

purchase gladiolus to the urban-raised,

allow the expectant mother to listen to the baby’s heartbeat,

give a glass of wine to the abstemious,

broiled fish to the vegan

then,

disrobe the virgins of the park standing on pedestals

before going home to a bowl of cold soup.
