POWER BONES

In the bakery 

there are lots 

of tiny girls 

and today

at the park 

it was boys 

on pedal-less bikes 

scuffing the ground 

to go and go 

last night was the party 

we had all been 

talking about

I stood in my blazer 

for seven hours

but can't remember 

a thing I said

some people walk fast 
when they leave their jobs

I take hours, melting 

into the barstools

but I don't believe in 
broken people

I know there is 

a lot of power 

in every type 

of bone
