Watch the first whales walk out
of the ocean and back in again.

Taste clear trumpet flower nectar
from a hummingbird’s tongue.

Fall through grey porch boards, and watch
pale vines grow through basement walls.

Cling to the underside of a table
or slither quietly between white sheets.

Eat burnt toast without scraping
it in the sink, no butter, no jam.

Read a book backwards,
swallow some sand.
