\t\t\t\tSweeping oceans and parking lots.
\nWashing a president\u2019s dishes.
\nWringing underpants.
\nDrying hair, cutting fingernails.
\nTaking out garbage
\n (replacing new bags in the cans).
\nFilling out forms, mailing needless documents.
\nServing and consuming mortar.
\nSharing expertise on cities never visited,
\n (and political complexities new to you).
\nPicking up telephones, slamming them down.
\nOpening refrigerator doors.
\n (closing refrigerator doors.)
\nTraveling
\n (not arriving).
\nStudying signs directed at others.
\nNostalgicizing on playgrounds whence you never played.
\nChasing flames from hypothetical eyes.
\nBarking at God\u2019s hilarious baboons.
\nNot knowing someone.
\nRemembering birthdays.
\nHelping Ferris wheels intercept miracles.
\nTripping over doormats made of crayon.
\nLittering sidewalks with public cake.
\nStealing toilet paper from Executive Bathrooms.
\nDrawing losers from a lottery.
\nCrushing democracies with babies\u2019 screams.
\nSideswiping neglected catastrophes with candied ears.
\nRivaling the dishwashing skills of bubble machines.
\nEscaping buildings with no walls.
\nFinding an octopus in a junkyard.
\nTaking phone calls with your rib cage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
