TriangleElation

Come out and play brothers and sisters. neighbors and friends.

What’s the story “morning glory!!!!!!!!????!” I heard your television blaring out the window while I was on the yellow rotary phone,,,, I got at a tag sale.

I have a joint if you want to play gin rummy; by the apple tree or; the bare spot that marks it’s grave.

No need to talk and break down communication?…!! when the swing set’s is where we share our secretshhhhhh that grown ups can never know?

What do you crave check mate tea or crumpets,, and,,, piano …or… a picnic.

Imaginary cluster,, brown nuts fallen from the maple, or pine tree?? and who I whisper to under the forsythia bushes.

the game being played is a gamesmanship that i ignore with giggly experiments sung to……….. “light as a feather stiff as a board… I’m not moving it…no I’m not; promise” and another round of rummy or setback?………

swat. the pests. away, before they taste the mud pie and discover my worm ant soup. A smell to drive away those who can’t see pixies and will kill fireflies spice and dandy lion herbs for flavor….. “Dam weed…sooo, what?!!! it is pretty? green.. grass is greener…………………a triangle is a squirrel…

SourGrapes

I am two years old and i want the candy

I am 12 years old and i secretly want the candy

I am 16 years old and i can have the candy

I am 20 years old and I steal the candy

I am 30 years old and I eat grapes

I am 35 years old and wild grapes are sour

I am 40 years old and i never liked grapes

I am 45 years old and my grapes are sour and that is life being on the rain-e-er side of the street…………….

magical thinking

you don’t mean what you say

polite potion of poison placed so erratically by my nightstand

the world is safe for me but dangerous for you at every turn

so keep yourself small to be my pet

shine your light onto my failed marriage to make it all seem ok

a retirement of hate and simple justifications that only a fool could believe

A loyalty to salute at all cost that i can’t afford he whispers

change that word, add that line and my mark is set upon you forever

never to leave me but forbidden to speak.

cradle to grave

i only wiped your butt so that you can wipe mine

forever

poorhouse

Welcome to the poor house can i pour you a cup of coffee or maybe a baby

Welcome to the poor house who will play the dad and who will play the lady

Welcome to the poor house the master is away but the wardens always stay

Welcome to the poor house mommy holds the power and daddy wants the purse.

Welcome to the poor house get on the roller coaster who will hold the bags

not me

not me

not me

mom will volunteer with a smile

and go out punching

Welcome to the poor house

The house i made for you

The roof falling down on your head

the food triggering the smoke alarm

and the bulk in the basement

Welcome to the poor house

We have lots of money

but no love for you

unless you

are welcomed by a house poor.
