Hoopers

Celia said she hoola hooped

to Lana del Rey for over an hour

on the sidewalk back home

a meditation

shink shink shink of the sand

shifting weight

my sister mom and I would have contests

counting each rotation in a tally 

marking it down with chalk on the patio

the only object to keep it going

for hours and hours

how about when this is all over
we start a society like the Shakers 

called the Hoopers but not repressed
hoola hoop as sympathetic magic
for the revolution?
