There's a man on the TV with a polished suit and newspaper tie he's holding up black paper dolls and painting white demons throwing out ballots, that he swears were never counted, there's a soft pink lady now she's wears a too big hat that she has borrowed, speaking of funny sounding places that are sprinkled red white and blue, and army boots too small to fill the many holes they were told to make with rockets near the schoolhouse teeter totters, theres a little girl thats sleepy, watching the mummers day parade with floats built on colored roses and layered paint on tall statues, of a nation's pride that will unravel and deflate the morning after, she takes a seat next to her mother picking colors from shelf bottles that paint periwinkle splatters on overtired toenails that sing of pretty colors made to pour into the bottles made in places where names sound funny, and the children throw malotov cocktails on red white and blue salutations, there's a sloppy girl with pigtails, that sits a corner desk row making clicks upon her abacus shes' rushed into the fallout shelter in a kindegarten hallway, the year is l960 and the bigger people told her she had to echo hatefilled mantras and fear the fear of grim faced russians.......... 1960 becomes 2005...........and so it (still) goes.......

I almost missed this one, what a lose that would have been.. "she takes a seat next to her mother picking colors from shelf bottles that paint periwinkle splatters on overtired toenails that sing of pretty colors made to pour into the bottles made in places where names sound funny, and the children throw malotov cocktails on red white and blue salutations," Outstanding poetry... ____________ice/ford ><> |
