the torrent

Barney's Song
As I awake this morning
I remember a Barney song
for my more oppositionally misaligned daughter.
I love you
and you love me

I´m here to bring you
What you don´t need
Another heartfelt poem
Another heartsick plea

Sour wine
And a shopping list
Of grievances
America wake up
It´s me and I...

and tug the coverlet where once we lay,
all suntanned limbs entangled, shivering,...
