How to flip the room
clear the space of all debris
wipe down surfaces
objects such as chairs
tables rearrange as fit
the space must look neat
wash or disinfect
within the public domain
the sphere of action
totally sweep up
the floor and mop as needed
erase all traces
of former events
to move forward with the night
let go of the past
forget useless facts
only what pertains to now
admit no defeat
let go of the past
work to rise above all loss
work against a redaction
inscribe each moment
with an eye to the future
an ear for footsteps
present the present
as a gift to ungrateful
guests as you may cast
tragedy aside
to embrace lighter aspects
of this comedy
how to flip the room
depends on your character
reflects persona
effect every change
with forethought to history
to feel unsteady
remember your place
your position, your status
catch the corona
over the king's head
as it rolls past the basket
don't flex your biceps
of course, there's no time
to lose, seize the fallen crown
throw it in the fire
melt it down to form
a golden skeleton key
open to aspire
