When I Grow Up
When I grow up I want to be a conquistador
Seven is adamant always
Once they fall in love with a career,
that is it.
What is that? I asked.
You know, she said coyly. You had them back in the day.
Not in my day. We had no conquistadores
in my covered wagon....

Friends Who Have My Back
Friends who have my back
welcome every day including Sunday
Pull me out of church pews
Bring me home in a covered wagon
Tie a sunbonnet on my head
Let me be old-fashioned
Trusting you completely,
Enjoying and appreciating
your steadfast love for me
because you always have my back....

What Were You Guys Talking About
The daddy comes down the stairs.
So what were you guys talking about?
He is five
Thinks he is on the same level as every person on the planet
I marvel at his presumption
We would have never thought to interrogate adults
About their conversation
in the olden days
when we were kids
we might have been tossed out of the covered wagon on our rear...

Are These Antiques Too
These are antiques the old lady said.
All of them?
She nodded.
Even these?
I held up a Fisher Price toy barn.
Especially that! She said.
I left feeling bewildered.
I had just held up my children’s favorite childhood toy.
Are my children also antiques?
And if they are antiques,
Where do I stand? What does this make me?
I got into my covered wagon and put a comforter over my head....

I remember
I Remember
I remember a time
When all was so bright
With bustling crowds
And neon lit nights
Covered wagon caterpillars
And bunnies of blue
Teacups that spun
You sat in them too
I remember the days
When scooters could fly
Pinball was king
And everything thrived
I remember the smells
Of hot dogs & beer
I remember it all
And wish it still there

Can You Imagine
Can you imagine being the parent of an eighteen-year-old son or daughter
Who marries, and jumps in a covered wagon to head west, not today, but
before telephones, or railroads, or any other reliable form of communication?
Can you imagine hugging your child goodbye, knowing you will probably never see her again, understanding that you might not even receive a measly letter?
Pioneer families; a brave and courageous lot....

She Is Grayscale
She is grayscale my students said.
They are used to people being in living color.
She is vintage, I explained. We were all grayscale back then.
In the covered wagon days?
No. In the thirties, forties, fifties and part of the sixties.
You are kidding!
Sh!
I was watching the young beauty.
Her dance moves flowed like molted lava
Her harem pants were chic and fashionable.
She was graceful like a flamingo.
Why is she gray? Stewart asked.
Stewart never listens in class....
