a summer whim

i wait for the pot to boil
it is like waiting for frozen molasses
to melt
and yet the summer flies by
like an eagle on methamphetamine

and the noodles are overdone
I have spent too long in the sun
I have played lots of scratchers
and still haven't won

we eat mushy grains
and lament September
while the kids roll
their trains

once the round table is clear
I hold my kids near
there is nothing so dear
as being right here
