Another hemisphere

Another hemisphere

when ! am upside down
my bare feet are vulnerable
to acorn
             drops
& blood rushes
                       down
to my head
& my hair tingles
& my glasses fall off
& coins spill from my pockets

& ! find myself in another hemisphere
where ! have to box blue kangaroos
as my prayers and shares fall out

! am useful as a salt shaker
in a roomful of sinners

  1. Mucho gusto! I am quite tickled by both the upside down i and by the final couplet.
