A Good Poem
A good poem is a cocoon,
a secret hideout
where no one can slap you
as you’re drying dishes
or throw shoes at your back
as you’re running away.
There are never enough.
Good poems, that is.
Please gather a million
in an Easter basket
and bring me nothing but time
and coffee
and sweatpants
and chicken pot pie
and sleep to read them by.
