they aren’t bashful
so adorable when they speak
pop and fresh dough squeeze
hiring a third guy
they’re driving from nine to nine
doesn’t stop to look
what are stop signs for
he doesn’t show up three times
the first week for work
seventy years old
has to drive for twelve hours
but she enjoys work
last week a rain storm
waited forty five minutes
then began swimming
appearing he’d wrecked
in the grass at pool entrance
next to my condo
quiet new jersey
mother of three yelled at him
to “wake the _ _ _ _ up”
“and take us home”
you can pull out in front of cars
but you cannot sleep
and the line was drawn
thought they would let him do
whatever he wanted
my lizard is back
came out to hear “all shook up”
so perfectly still
birds fly next to him
listening on top of rail
really loves elvis
ran up to see me
“let me be your teddy bear”
“and i love you so”
1 2 3 4 5
tiny birds landing seconds
