My favorite tree in the whole wide world got all dressed up for me.
She dances divinely.
She even self-corsages.
I just can’t take my eyes off her.
She’s worth every sneeze
the sringimg eyes
The runny nose.
+ Her Barefoot Heart
Whatever
the occupation
the age
the gender
Whatever
the sexual preference
the religion
the hair color
Whatever the size of
the bank book
the house
the appetite
Whether one likes
numbers
beakers
paint
words
proof
or
faith
best
Whatever
the handicap
the illness
the eye color
Whatever
the height
the dental records
the shoe size
Whatever
the favorite color
the preferred mode of transportation
or dress
or leisure activity
Whatever the differences . . .
We’re all Somebodies
Somewhere
in Some Way.
