Sunday Afternoon Retrospect<br />
Susan Rich<br />
I plan to be used for a higher power<br />
the way some unknown orange powder<br />
overnight transformed to America’s<br />
beverage for walking on the moon.<br />
I’m not sure why, but I’d like to be remembered<br />
longer than the dial tone, jukeboxes, or the gold roll<br />
of the nearly deceased Kodachrome.<br />
Please miss me like Walter Cronkite,<br />
like the easy tilt of the pinball machine,<br />
the cash register that sweetly opened<br />
in a revelation of ca-ching.<br />
Make my higher purpose jazz<br />
pianist of the typewriter keys,<br />
blues mistress of the carriage slide<br />
