Sause Poems

I Am Made of Moments

I am from spaghetti
from tomato pie and pigs feet dipped in sause

I am from mt Italian neighborhood
(treeless city streets.

I am from my grandfather's house
who I never met

I am from yellow Duncan yo yos
and Wiffle ball bats

I am from the Aunt
who loved me like a mother

The bus rides to Asbury Park
sitting 'round the pool deck in
wooden lounge chairs.

The sting in my nose  from a salty ocean
The sand in my hair
to neon rides in the twilight.

I am from those moments memories are made;

Days so swiftly squandered away
