Make me your
coffee mug
look for me
need me each morning
let me be
your reason for waking
Pull me out of your pocket
a scratch paper fragment
let me have a number
you need
or an appointment reminder
maybe with the doctor
Wear me as your
pair of sunglasses
let me be the clarity,
the shade
live so close,
make love to your eyes
Keep me hung
a wall clock
facing your bed
let me be your guide
a reminder
to eat your medicines
For you
I’ll be anything
I’ll do anything
For you
But please,
don’t ever make me into
a door mat
I’ll grow legs
run away
and never come back
