I drove my head into the
crow’s nest & what I heard
you wouldn’t believe.
I made an agreement
with the bird that
we would only talk
every other
Wednesday– when it suits you.
My new friend lives with a
rogue sparkplug and all their
buried children. I met some girls
at the sandbox who kicked dust
at boys 30 years ago. I
understand what it takes to
to be noticed. I’ve notified
all my Monday blues that
it’s time to
Take The Edge Off–
we’ll come around again thrice
before
Christmas & get this all
straightened out. I’m all straightened out
since the
bright light shown down
straight within me & pulled the dog-eyed boy
straight out.
