Manifest Destiny Abracadabra
Hat Rabbits
By Tyler Lucas Mobley
Goldie Hawn stirs a rainbow leafs against sky
animate and dance in mind, providence of spread
legs journey west, stumble into a mine shaft to
fall for 37 years. Anomalous dynamics, deemed a
weightless pong vollied between hemispheres to
emerge in volcanic eruption, then appear on the
evening news. Feather voice found me splashing
in a bath, ‘Hemingway’ says the lady of 1946, with
palindrome restored come visions against the grain.
Wrinkled faces clock time, expressions instruct
wavering compass, solemn salute raised totem of
fortune flapping drawers. When her straps hit the
water it all boiled off, on the side of the tub lay a
pile of purple jelly, should toast ever wish to spread
my honor, that gives you opera voice till it clears,
patience a virtue, a lion’s stretch under blazing sun.
