"Reversible".
Try this.
Shadows of leaves, between shadows of Venetian blinds,
bounce like holes across the scroll of a player piano.
But are similes reversible?
Try this.
Trunk of a palm tree as the leg of a one-legged ballerina--
that's a bad Sean Connery, but a good print.
We wake up to an empty room, addressing itself
in scare quotes.
Happen, and now, have been smuggled out to arrive safely
in the past tense.
We come home to a cap, made entirely of fish.
