"Hey kid, Get off that dang tractor!"

My son came home from school one day, wanting permission to go, to the Zoo.
His field trip sparked a riot. Can you imagine at home, what immediately ensued?

Field Trip
Driving in Atlanta past pear trees, struck
with spring lightning, I rolled down my window
as if breathing deeply might anchor their passing,
perfect beauty. Paula, with whom we share
in her meditation class, (she, of the nature religion
embraced in adulthood, leaving behind the ship-
wrecked Jewish faith that did not shore her)
declared "You are a
