the way of Fotomat

 
you can’t always wait for

im perfect conditions

to move and shake

sometimes—
 
 
you buy a wind machine

–when a tornado watch is just a trend—

you tie up a hammock

and call it a squirrel suit—

one you change into at Verizon

wireless

–who go the extra distance

(long shots)

to keep customers happy–

and with this quasi-cape,

soar all the way

to Technicolor

–unless Technicolor is obsolete, then try

hi, deaf.

sometimes trainers

are enough

scuffed though they are, and rube free

–heels to click

to find your way home–

as long as you put one in front of the other

(between dance moves)

following that Northern bat signal

in the sky.
