Reunion

Sweat.

Sweet sweat and sunburns.

Icy spray on my back.

And legs,

and face

STOP SHOOTING ME WITH THAT WATER GUN.

No, don't stop,

:]

I'm not actually hungry for all that candy we bought.

Bubbles bubbles,

toil and trouble

Lets see who can scream that loudest.

Toss the frisbee,

Toss the salad

Toss the attitude,

Toss me into the air.

Toss your doubts out the window,

And I just need one of those hugs.

Those breath taking,

back breaking,

heart aching,

throw your whole self into it

hugs.

Interrupted

I don't know if it's funny
And I don't know if it's sad
I don't know if I like it
Or if I should be angry

But it's teaching me to blurt out the answers
And when to keep my mouth shut
And now I think I've unlearned the difference
Between the "hello" and the "good-bye"

And I'm thirsty. Not in a metaphorical way, but really thirsty for a cold glass of water, clinking ice cubes.

Science Final

Scritch, scratch, rustle

The hum of minds, a bustle

And he's wearing his blue gloves

And the clock it tick-tocking

Moving too slowly

If I could do it again, I wouldn't

Thank god for the turtles.

Hush puppy

Hush puppy

Hush puppy

Hush

Just What We Needed

Rain, rain,

Stay one more day.

I think it would be fun to play

In dirty puddles,

Soak through my shoes

And chill me through my skin -

ACHOO!

Sweet June Afternoon

And it was ALL of that.

I blew out my speakers and couldn't help

Couldn't control

The dreams about my baby dog yawning

Such sweet expression

And I could never imagine anything more

But I did.

The distorted drum beat

Dribbling out of my bed room window

And she snarls

And I laugh

And I could scream

If I wanted to

And I want to.
