outdoor concert
after everyone’s gone
calls of tree frogs
alone in the house,
little dog startles, then listens
answering machine
as we drive
down the highway she says,
“All of this is an illusion.”
I say, “Still, I’ll keep my hands
on the wheel.”
at the red light
three waiting drivers, all dance
in their seats
from a pickup window
graceful bare feet
with dirty soles
in the doorway
at tap-dancing class
mother tries a step
little daughter watches
as he rubs Rogaine on his skull –
“It’s not working, Dad.”
finishes her candy bar –
even on her back,
chocolate
small town South
“Ah men” congregation
with an “Ā men” preacher
Athens, Georgia--
outside pawnshop
he opens the car’s trunk
gets his bass drum
Ritalin kicks in
I want to alphabetize
my spice rack

Thanks for sharing this post . I am very interested in this topic . I would like to share my opinion on this Happily for these dad and mom, the homeopathic discipline has heard and responded to their issues.As a result of the primary signs of ADHD, together with hyperactivity, lack of focus and incapability to focus, could cause kids to be fairly disruptive, many dad and mom and medical doctors are looking forward to a fast repair.
