Jordan Said Go to Your Destination

Do you even know what destination
Means? How about adventure?

Of course, because that’s an everyday
Occurrence—a quiet miracle every time

You leave and come home safe
In a gift shop I ask you to put down

Some whimsical trinket of ceramic
Or wicker, afraid it will break in

Your tumbling eager hands
Don’t worry mommy, you say

It’s not fragile—a word you learned
From someone with lots of experience

Watching sturdy stuff shatter:
Tech bubbles, ankle bones, appetite
