Insulated from Misconducting Bodies
Jay knows the time of day by the Sun(ar);
to add insult to injury, Jay consults
random baby stroller pushers,
aka child traffickers.
And on cloudy days?
Jay applies the baby formula:
put two and two nipples together,
subtract four pacifiers,
and make five: 5 p.m.
As for the time of year, Jay lets the deciduous trees
decide (also what to wear); Jay asks the traffic lights,
or a pigeon, for a second (o)pinion.
A blue-n’-naked infant
criss-crossing a small prominence in the middle of a road
suggests
an extended power outage
on a winter night.
