This poem was written for a web page asking for Saturday poems this last weekend. You can find that site at this link.
Sleepover leftovers
washing syrup and bacon grease and utensils
egg shells down the disposal
down the drain
down
Driving here and there and back for
Art fairs and dance recitals and coffee
and Father’s Day cards
(don’t forget the coffee)
driving away and
driving home
driving
me
Eating out with friends
and strangers
and we are all eating
salad mostly
mostly
eating
mostly
driving
down the drain
with the egg shells
with the syrup
with
me
Sleeping over
again and again
sleeping bags
splayed about
about sleeping
and driving
home is here
is sleeping
again
home is
me
