On the Roof
as brave strong smart
kind long-haired
comfortable unhappy creative
warm encouraging inspiring
memorable
who writes with abandon
lives with abandon
and no plans
late is on time and schedules -- ha!
the nerve of suggesting I'm
the one who is crazy
call me every letter of the alphabet
I'll give you a word for each
one and count the freckles
like stars
on children's faces
and wish each
one were my
child freckle alphabet
soupy sky with clouds and
it's raining hard today.
