Keep Your Hat On

Keep Your Hat On

A Poem by Darryl Davis

Hold this while I pack…

…or am I unpacking?

 

                                                Neither, really, they’re just

                                                two fallacies eyeballing

 

us, we shed our skins

whenever we grow out of them

 

                                                or they grow weary of us

                                                and we slither towards some

 

familiar thickets to scratch

our bellies, or to bathe in the

 

                                                long dewy grass, home is

                                                whenever the outside meets

 

the inside without touching

frequency is a matter of wear

 

                                                You can keep that…

                                                …I never use it
