DO NOT IRON

Do not be flattened

Society is a hot iron
burning to flatten wrinkles
and smooth out loudmouths
on their way to becoming mountains.The weight and pressure
can lay you out
like a blank sheet of nothing. The Spartan Buddha presses
upward against it all.
His plume scrapes the sky.
He is a beautiful imperfection
in a world that’s
pancaked.
