take up the sport of diving
as they
get ready for moving day
and find all the treasures one could ask for
and one they didn’t expect.

mexican fortune.
went out on taco tuesday
for a
family fiesta
all tacos were just one dollar
and
when we got the menu
we saw
the new ‘surprise filling’ option
kind of scary and intriguing at the same time
we asked our server as instructed
“what’s it going to be today?”
but
alas
it wasn’t available
they ran out of it
must have been very popular
but
couldn’t they have
just combined things
and
made one up?
how would we know the difference?
raisins, mashed potatoes, and green jello?
or
watermelon rinds, blue cheese, and kit-kat bars?
or
whatever they found in the kitchen?
if there were mexican fortune cookies
i expect that mine would have read:

gargoyles.
is it my imagination
or are
gargoyles
beginning
to look
more human
these days?

who? take 2.
yes
i made another attempt
at keeping the brownies
in the pan
for more than
half an hour.
this time
as i was
tapping off
the
extra
powdered sugar
on top
almost all
of
the perfect batch
followed the sugar
right
into the trash
so
i brought what was left to the party
and
had to call on
my wheel of cheese
for backup.

big enthusiasm.
it just isn’t a long weekend
until you break out
your giant inflatable beer bottle
to float down the river on.

easy as abc.
it amazing to watch
as the lightbulb goes on
and
the transformation begins
when
those who have long names
quickly learn
to adopt
a shorter nickname
that they suddenly really love
(but only when written down)
once they have to
go through the process
of writing it all out.

sebastian becomes ‘seb’
elizabeth becomes ‘liz’
anniston becomes ‘ana’
christian becomes ‘chris’
and then
there is always
the one
who gets caught up in the spirit of things
and
jumps on
the shortcut bandwagon
just because
like when
kim becomes ‘km’.

bus.
as another school year
draws to a close
my time on the bus
is almost over
and
i think
i’ll miss
all the action:
who sits with who
who lost their coat
who forgot their bag
who needs a band-aid
who has the wrong bag
who sat by the window last
who didn’t bring their boots
who has trouble sitting at all
who was supposed to stay at school
who is crying, laughing, squealing, bouncing?
it might be me.

“i’d rather go by bus.”
