LOOKING FOR HOME


a magnifying glass spotted a WE little woods
in a tiny village with the wonder of memories

a crayfish creek with human legs splashing
a stone wall to balance on a sandbox donut

a swing set put together with tweezers and
precision minute tears and laughter wings

a minuscule trunk to yell down from to hang
a rope and seat a peace sign scrawled on

a santa-size mailbox filled to the brim with
bills, cards, letters, and no dope because that

would be illegal and the government truck
might show up to take you away HA HA records

with fingerprints, etchings, scratches, speeds
i’m dizzy spinning around and around landing

on tomorrow where the records have shrunk
and stay entombed in plastic cases or players

and i am gulliver the giant creating havoc on
life’s travels, skipping ahead, practically losing

my head like goliath leaving small problems
behind dragging my feet like a bag of christmas

toys unable to open not allowed to peek NO
FAIR I stomp my heels wanting my way I THOUGHT

big people tall as trees always got their way and
my giant parents now I level with me clap

their hands in cheers and victory forgetting the fog
that encircles their knees in a tiny toon town
