Sunday Morning Self Amusement

You're sitting down, content, and you
notice that only your left foot dangles
in the later-afternoon citrus sunlight like
a secret-amber-talisman

And you move each one of your toes
individually just to see if you can
and you just barely can’t
but for personal ambition’s sake
you claim you can, that is
you could if you had to

And a fly lands on your
crock of butter foot and it doesn’t
bother you, it's just kind of neutral
so you don’t swat at it

And Billie Holiday's telling you pennies
are falling from heaven and you
look up and hold out your hands
to catch the Copper-Lincolns

And this is a kind of funny joke to you,
it amuses you, and you laugh out loud.
