We have to bring with us
a time that smells like
the grand representation
of polychromatic measures
for any and all underachieving
squirrel mongers we’ve come
to know and love. Some things
are better left unexplained
by our grand cynics, and I’ll
need you to take the kids
for a walk before bedtime.
If you could scrape a few
dollars together to get
some ice cream, that would go
a long way toward pleasing
our benevolent overlords
(the Hendersons).
