A clear-beaded mousie
with a pointy black nose,
twitchable beaded tail,
and ruffly yellow clothes.
The tail can tilt her head--
she nods without a squeak!
Quiet little church mouse,
I bought from a boutique.
(True story!)
some said she is beautiful
She remains ugly in her mind
her mother said so
i am ugly too said black swan
they shared identical mothers,
thus, same self-talk
Dog Days Of Summer
By: Tom Wright
9/8/98
Intense heat,
causing sparsely foliated trees
to prematurely brown.
Hot southerly breeze
burning at my nostrils
and Mother saying,
son, don't pick.
A five cent Nehi Orange
from Shue's Stand
split three ways
would be good,
and no, my hand
won't go in those Fruit jars.
make Norma wash,
she has smaller hands.
I'll rinse, It’s harder,
Tiny black harvest bugs
floating in the air
from a nearby Oat field.
I'm itching all over.
A molting dog chasing Its tail.
Wormy?
No, he just sees Mr. Williams,
the ice man.
Mama,
Joe hit me.
Kids behave yourselves!
Where did the time Go?
“Mom I think my finger’s falling off”
Not to worry I’ll be there in a second.
“Mom I think the roof caved in”
Get under the bed for now, I’m on the phone.
“Mom, Sister’s on the roof”
Sooooo?
“Mom, the house behind us is on fire”
Bring them a bucket; I’m drying my hair.
“Mom, there’s a black spider on my wall”
He’ll keep; I’m watching Days of Our Lives.
“Mom, the paper boy’s collecting”
I don’t have $2. I’ll be at the bank.
“Mom, there’s a policeman at the door”
Get Daddy. Now.
“Mom, I’m married with kids”
Where was I?
