First Grade
Mom! Wait outside!
Wait right there
on the sidewalk
outside our classroom!

Wait so I can see you.
Don't go home!
I'll be out there at 3 o'clock.

Wait outside mom.
Don't leave.

Bad Horsey
A rocking horse on springs.
A group of grownups around me, laughing as I hold
the horse’s plastic head.
I rock so hard
I fly off the horse
and crash on the floor.
Adults gasp.

Pain.
Someone says,
Bad horsey.

Dead Spider

The dead spider

squashed

by the foot of the stairs

a brown stain.

My mother said,

“It’s bad luck

to kill a spider.”

I hope she was lying.

I Wanted
I wanted a drooly
puppydog
I got a little sister

I wanted a slimy
green pet frog
I got a little sister

I wanted a parrot
that can sing
I got a little sister

I wanted almost
everything
I got a little sister

But if I never got her
I really would have missed her

The Homeless Man
The homeless man is coughing
I am afraid of him
What should
I do?

Tell Me a Story, Grandpa
Tell me a story, grandpa

Give it a wolf and a bear

Just one more story, grandpa

let me save everyone there

Just one more story, grandpa

To carry me into the night

Just one more story, grandpa

It’s too soon to turn out the light

Thumbs
Flappy has no thumbs, you know
he only has smooth paws
he can't show thumbs up or down
to share the way he feels
He can't hold a pencil,
or a crayon,
he can't draw,
he can't write pretty poetry
or even hold a spoon
so he has to stick his snout
directly in the soup

Flappy's so bummed
because he's unthumbed

The Old Coin

in the closet, in a box

dark and lost for years

when I took it out at last

it jumped into my heart

and unlocked memories

like a key opening a chest

I squeezed the old coin in my hand

and grandpa was alive again

I think there are a hundred bees inside the pencil sharpener
and they buzz
and buzz

and buzz until my point is sharp!

breath

fell asleep

paw to hand.
