My little son
Is watching me
Wind the vacuum's chord.
And when I clip
The plug in place,
He points and says,
"So pretty."
I think he likes the magic
Of my taming this long snake.
I think he likes the rhythm
Of up, over, down, around.
And I think he likes the look
Of chord hanging in straight lines
Like packed gray taper candles
In order so nearly divine.
