words for my other son: lazy musings on the importance of the right turn

they turn
round and round
pirouetting around
us and themselves

the door knob and
the wheels turn
but the eagle
circles for prey

the propeller
and the earth
both rotate
the top
gyrates though

but
the earth
like the sun
also revolves

lobbyists spin
ballerina swirls
as does
the swizzle stick
in the martini

and while the world
rotates around them
dervishes do not eddy
but whirl

and in whirling
rumiesquely
they touch gods
