arapahoe

the friendly tornado

for Hettie Jones

Out of the other summer un-ridden

un-icy bicycle swivel and hips

twist or bad knees as the slamming closed car


This is the season of confused bees and

cell phone radiation dance colony

collapse disorder something goofy we're


Sunk maybe four years out of the other's

silence bejeweled with coming after sun

strong lions drawn away absent-minded


Headaches of altitude sickness faster

breathing wandering eye of buoyancy

halting before the potable water


And what, then, do I suppose? Let it lead

to those fixed stars at the bottom of a pool.

arapahoe

the motion of small particles suspended in liquids

daddy bruce's bar-b-que

i remember

I remember candy cigarettes.

I remember being stung by a yellow jacket at Lake Nockamixon.

I remember planting snapdragon seeds in the garden with my sister.

I remember a boy named Scotty at recess who always wanted to pretend he was a fly and wanted me to pretend spray him with pretend bug spray.

I remember when I liked going to the airport. I remember when I liked flying.

arapahoe

i remember

I remember my neighbors had a big gray cat who liked to play coup de boule with me in the driveway.

I remember the first time I saw “FUCK” spray painted on the asphalt. I thought that someone had spelled “FLUNK” wrong.

I remember a big kid, Marty, stabbing a packet of mayonnaise with a fork at lunch in the cafeteria until it exploded and mayonnaise went all over everyone.

I remember that whenever we would ride in the car with my Aunt Sharon, she would point to every dilapidated barn we passed and say “There’s Missy’s house.”
