orientation

don't walk around the block beforehand
don't look at that white lighter on the street
don't wonder if it's out of fluid
probably is of course
they are going to love you so
wash your hands every time it comes to mind
and stay out of the sun because
a deep tan attracts too many unwarranted q's
sometimes my poet feels like a plank
clinging to the shade in Valencia
walking straight into the doors of an elementary school
like "normal" barbie, woman-student barbie
not bending
and definitely don't write anything about your experience
on the internet or even in a notebook
because you never know where it might end up
