one asshole at a time

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.
