Boxing Day Morning

she can certainly
compete, complete
a third lap in my lap

could live in my lap
if comfortable, if happy

for certain, I’d be
the happiest of men

were we able to make
Junkanoo together
make laps together
make Christmas come

Boxing day, certainly
no time for mourning


look whom we saw
when dawn broke
like an egg breaks

what egg white
what yolk
