jump rope songs
Published by Running Dog Press in the year 2000. What do I have left after the long fall from the High Country? I look through my pockets for loose change. I jump rope.
in second grade
you wore
your halloween costume
to school
on the wrong day
and everybody
except you
laughed
and the principal called
your mom to come get you
you spent the rest of the day
at home eating ice cream
and eatching tv
with traces
of clown make-up
still showing
around your ears
we were married 10 years
and it turns out
the wrong day
costume story
is still
what I like
best about you
