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?
