How to Celebrate Columbus Day
Sue De kelver in 2009 Wisconsin Poets Calendar
Tuck an orange in your pocket
to stave off scurvy.
Chart a self-guided course
toward your Inner Islands.
Take a deep, cleansing breath
to set sail then keep breathing.
Remember you've survived
both storms and doldrums.
Don't count on stars
to show you the way.
Repeat this mantra:
My world will never be flat.
