To Become Younger

Simply begin,
by reversing
the rotation of the earth.

Next,
reverse the revolution
of the earth around
the sun.

Finally,
Have the Milky Way
wind up like a clock
instead of
spinning outward
like a whirling dervish.

Because with all this spinning
we’ve grown quite dizzy,
and we’ve all grown old,
with this vertigo.

But,
if we were to **** it in,
rather than blowing it out,
surely,
we could begin taking off the years.

If only we would just begin
doing these things,
because what we have been doing,
is not working for us.
