An American Spring

continuing rain the owl hoots anyway

no yellow brick road but the dandelions

sharp words I remove your eggshells from the sink

dirty dishes dirty laundry well at least everything matches

skunks under the porch my deodorant is useless

an american spring today's students are tomorrow's voters

another shooting another round of do-nothing politics

earth day festival my t-shirt glows in the dark

leg squats I'm tired of imagining there's a chair behind me
