Maybe this time,
time will work to my advantage.
Maybe today,
a day will pass the way I want it to.
Maybe tomorrow,
tomorrow will wait to begin.
Maybe again,
again will be the last repitition.
Maybe, just maybe, I’ll make a fort
and have it stand the test of time,
of rain, of wind, and of seige.
I’ll make it out of couches on their backs,
and a table covered with sheets.
I’ll see how high I can stack it
with cushions for roofing.
Maybe the cats will be its undoing,
or simply the builders’ neglect
in favor of other projects,
but most likely,
someone will decide
just to tear it down
in the name of progress.
Maybe. . .
something hidden in your basement
lost two heads and needs replacement
well I just fix it up
three head dog wants to mix it up
