please take your handshake and
vacate. and please take your arm
and scram. and please take your stare and go
somewhere. and roll up your sleeves
and leave.
please button your shirt and
skip dessert. and lace up your shoes
and vamoose. put on your hat and giddy-up
scat. and make like a train’s
caboose.
please give a wave and
be on your way. please
blink your good eye
goodbye. and please shake a leg
with intention to vanish. or we’ll ask to have you
banished.
(and no, silly moon)
(this is not about you)
