The Blue Woman's Sunny Day

probably the UPS man would come today

so she waited in a frail pretty dress

a party dress

to open a package

she would need her hair cutting scissors

and remembered to fetch them

although she felt giddy

The UPS man would come all in brown

except for his endless blue eyes on her

he would wonder why she got this package

but not what was in it

he would narrow his blue eyes

checking out Blue Woman

and deciding what she deserved and what

she would want

If Blue Woman looked very happy

he would be happy

he was so handsome

UPS man believed it was he

who made this happiness

since it was his job

after all

such a nice guy she thought

and then she took the haircutting scissors

and cut the tape on the package

tissue paper puffed out like butterflies

in a wind blowing bubbles

the UPS box was full of light-as-nothingness

fragile as the child holding hands

climbing the stairs with dimpled legs

and the child swinging higher and

higher into the twirling sun

calling all the birds and the blueness

of sky

and Blue Woman's name.
