near 1:00pm

if Poem rhymed with Moon
the world would end
or not have started spinning

or English spoke

consider that as I tell you
I have minor carpentry skills
so could build a book shelf
somewhere in my house and even fasten it
to almost any wall with things

There are shops nearby with books to buy,
no problem
Feel the joy?

A dog laying on the porch licks his own cock.
The sun bows to shade on the porch
this time of year near 1:00pm
it is no impediment to canine hygiene

So, with fingers still attached
and the shelf half hung
I imagine hands helping me
lift my board and anchor it,
Hands of a handy pretty woman
who tolerates dogs and moon poems
