on the transistor radio
Lick the sun and the smoke.
Shimmy your hips faster
than the buildings. Make love
to a rocket.
Collect skullsPlay call and response
Save water
with the ambulance. Find a toy
in the rubble.
SwimTurn on the power generator
around a warship.
for thirty minutes.
Count your bones.Breathe air.
