Part of this safety is some routine locked in code,

predicatable, like each next white stripe on the road.

We stash away surprises underneath our severeal beds,

like clown coats and fire suits, as lost basketballs

meander to the edge.

But parts of this stasis are the details of your laugh,

against pillow cases, and down the stairs, and from the bath.

The revive the verbs that strive to serve their gentle charity

Like isis vs. velum, don’t you ever tell then the things they do to me.

So,

Stay home
