Coping Skills
After Yoko Ono
for Jason Brown
i.
Peel a ripe orange
Into shards of rind
Set fire to them with kerosene.
ii.
Be a river.
Remember when you were a glacier.
You know how to take it slow.
iii.
Carve a hole where there is
already a hole.
Gather the pieces of nothingness.
Throw them angrily without your hands.
iv.
Put on your invisibility cloak
But leave your shadow.
Surprise your neighbors with what
You are not.
