Found this poem that I wrote last year and thought I’d share it.

Boys

Screaming—with delight?

                   with terror?

Those boys.

Often needing a full name

called LOUDLY and c-l-e-a-r-l-y

to grab their racing minds.

Whizzing, buzzing,

horsie one minute

tickle monster the next

Vroom vroom!

I gonna get you!

And then the inevitable

     — CRASH —

and the wet angry cheeks.

Mad, mad, MAD!

Three minutes pass.

Back to tumbling, shoving

around and around and around the table.

Shrieks—of joy?

               of pain?

Those boys.
