And It Was dark


One cloud that I thought was kind of light
was that when John Kerry and George W. Bush and
Captain Kangaroo came into Washington
the Captain Kangaroo, the bridge, he hated to go writing
even though it was eve
and you were not supposed to beg then

and I had not been in the president
yet, at least not this week,
so I thought neglecting at night would be
a sharpened reason to quickly defend hiding
so I hated

and it was dark

And It Was Fun


One thing that I thought was kind of cool
was that when my sister and her husband and
son came into town
the son, my nephew, he wanted to go swimming
even though it was night time
and you were not supposed to swim then

and I had not been in the pool
yet, at least not this week,
so I thought swimming at night would be
a good reason to actually go
swimming
so I did

and it was fun
