I Stand (on a blue) Wave
Crunch, crunch, smack
repeat potato chip
bamboozling wooden
clothes-pins pinching
light-faded drawings
on construction paper.
"hey mama!"
Thrown away- throw away
clocks- dog days- sidewalk cracks.
"don't
yank
my
chain!"
Dinosaurs and bric-a-brac,
what's vital, you lapped
at my wet and muddy socks.
Adulthood still arms
length from us- both of us.
Swimming sideways yet steadfast.
