soup

rain stick
i have a new boss.
i’m supposed to eventually adjust
to having her.

i spent the day holding a three-hole punch
over the trash can
and rotating it clockwise.
i did this until my hand got tired.
then, i switched hands.
if i was doing it right,
it’d sound like a rain stick,
which means it wouldn’t sound like rain at all.

one time, i saw a woman demonstrate
how to use one of those,
but she didn’t know what she was talking about.
