Wearing
a plaid skirt
Keeps
me on my toes with fashion and manmade resistance
I
couldn’t stop looking at her midsection
I’m
funny that way
Always
had a thing for librarians ever since I first rode to the library on my yellow
ten speed Free Spirit
I
remember the Wizard of Oz tome and how the library then and now represented a
world I always look forward to getting lost in
There’s
infinite wonder and an eternity of spectral surprises and Julie she represents
the most exceptional and exquisite tastes of a humanity always inquisitive and
on the mark
It’s
time we broke open our Dalinian hearts and lost ourselves in the milk of the
Savior
Wearing
my heart on my sleeve
I
couldn’t help but notice she wasn’t paying attention to me
There’s
something about her that reminds me of the Peanuts and especially Peppermint
Patti
I
couldn’t get enough of their cartoons as my cousin Lori and I would trudge back
and forth from the library with another armful of their Sunday funnies
Been
eating butterscotch sundaes as of late with whipped cream, nuts and rainbow
sprinkles
I
warm the butterscotch up in the microwave so when it hits the vanilla ice-cream
a soup starts to form as I go to town on this delicious and decadent verboten
treat
We
broke bread together as they served us pigeon and called it fried chicken right
before I got up to feature for the first time in Cleveland in fifteen years or
more
Having
Julie in the audience made that night even more special as I read my heart out
and pulled no punches as I pushed the river and said Geronimo.
