So there I was,
rearranging the pillows,
when suddenly the door
swung open and let in a light.
I closed my eyes, said "Get out,
I've had enough of this peer pressure.
I'm not going to Disneyland. Neither
force nor fauna will move me: I am fixed."
But the earth was whirling beneath me
as I opened my eyes to discover
that I was twirling in a cup of tea,
buoyant with sugar and strawberries,
and when the light snuck back
to whence it came, the fireworks
were seminal, smile inevitable.
