the parking lot at work
there was a song of a sunrise
waiting for me to see it
pull right up to it
yellow mixed with faintest blue
angel singing clouds
so this is east
at the Little Ladies exhibit of Victorian fashion dolls
there was the tiniest pocket watch
tiny clock on one end then a gold chain
leading to a tiny five-petaled flower
on the tiny other end
what is it with that miniature feeling
it's like the way these letters look
on this page
could even break my heart

the accessories are the best
better than the dresses
tiny hairbrush, mirror
sewing kit, earrings
I dented my car on a concrete
pillar in the parking lot
of the museum
big crunch
my car is not so tiny
not so tiny as I thought
in that moment
after work, turning back onto my street
the sun again
setting right at the end of my block
like another song
and that is west
a cartoon bookended day
like I just bop in my car
work east home west
jump into some striped pajamas
turn out the light and
go to sleep
with tiny z's
