the tin can battle of garbage pail kid
inheritor cardboard collector
up in the dark past bedtime
late night of the transistor radio
playing down on the corner the kids
breakdancing breaking their legs
on
then whoa ragdoll
off
skateboards
and laughing and free five years old
he rode the stone dolphin
in the waves of wind
cold night forever
the overpass passed over and the lights went out
we can count on one hand the times
you fed us from the
coarse grey sand
washed from the
the bottoms of our feet now
clean of dirt and rocks and skin
are we lit do we light
and then travel as fast photons make
the world brighter and the radiation
is the green of her eye on
a grinning pistachio sun
