Chapbook - 44 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN: 978-1502568212 |
Cursed the draining prowess of the cul de sac,
traced each tiny rivulet until
we found one, small, proud
puddle along the side of the street.
And we, in blue dress pants and leather loafer,
in yoga pants and tennis shoes,
held hands,
and jumped.
