Notice

Watch out; I'm going to install this jack
Directly in your head. You'll notice things:
The way your eyelids flutter like the wings
Of a migrating butterfly on crack,
Which way a knife is pointed, shades of black,
How you can make out the crazed mutterings
Of ravers in the street, why a bird sings,
And whether time moves forward or slips back.

My heart is filled with love and wonderment,
And surely, when I give my chest a clout
To tenderize it, with a sudden shout,
"Take care," I'll be both glad and penitent:
The world, crowded with charm and incident,
Will come alive for you tonight. Watch out!
