UNDER NO THREAT

when
i
stretch out & curl up
dormant in the days soft middle

& men gather outside
to drill & cut 
the hard streets
pocked skin

i pretend
its only
the
engine room rumble
of
an
adventure movie
tramp steamer

&
i
am
resting in the poop deck hammock
dormant in the days soft middle

under no threat
all problems solvable 
with a perfect smile

waiting on dinner
&
the
approach
of
land
