"Sunday, Fun-Day"

arqios

 

Sunday Fun-Day

 

rubber-banding the horizon,

we snap awake— alive

in the afterglow of jittery headlines.

rebirthed from yesterday’s ashes of alarm,

we plaster bright-blue stickers on every forecast.

 

coffee chorus hums beyond the newsroom siege,

the weirdly wonderful seeps into streetlamps,

as lawn chairs negotiate peace treaties with sticky-sweet birdcalls.

 

bulletin boards ditch the red-alert sirens,

holding aloft rainbows like steadfast banners.

upheld by our laughter, the bulletins lighten:

Sunshine at 100%—joy guaranteed.”

 

today’s headline reads only our own hearts beating,

Sunday Fun-Day, unstoppable, infinite.

—where every “last call doom” rewrites itself into a carnival horn.
