What’s the pointillist 

People by the quay 

Were depicted by? 

It was someone’s 

Birthday last week 

Lots of people’s 

I didn’t know 

We looked like

Rambling in the aisle 

Of youth

Cruising down a hill

With a vehicle 

When the baby spat out 

A cherry pit 

An evaded danger 

I too sucked 

Minutes after a candy’s

Sour coating’s gone

Generic sweet 

The Warhead goes 

Cherry red 

Another local 

Idiom of the 

Soccer player

Inserting cash 

Into the register

The announcers say

Now that’s the metaphor 

Then we all wait 

For coins to crescend

It really means

He’s exited the Cup

Coolly reclining 

As far as his chair 

Will let him on 

The flight to his neighbor

In Denmark skidding 

The luxury surface 

That is the fjord 

Back at the beach 

Party other parents

Alert me to another 

Item the baby’s put

In his mouth 

My limited options

Of reprieval 

Barkchips don’t taste 

Good but maybe 

They’ll like the smell 

Of the fleece 

Or the umbrella 

Lilted over the camping

Equipment style blanket

It was an insignia

Of camping equipment

Boots with thick soles

To walk in terrain

Ideally one day 

We’ll get our stuff 

Together to do that 

Ideally in yellow 

Boots we call Snoopy
