Reflective Prespective
Glass doorknobs on bedroom doors with key locks.
big green worms on tomato plants.
a dime in hand for the newest "Uncle Scrooge"
comic book.
playing cards clipped on bike wheels with wooden clothes
pins.
the nurse in white with pins on her chest taking temperature
with a glass thermometer tasting of alcohol.
wild blackberry feasts in the back lot.
the smell of blooming basswood trees.
forts made with old chenille bedspreads and clothesline
props,
and just watching rain.
Childhood excitements and Old man’s treasures.
Little things that hold on to you and pull you back from
today.
Like sleep they renew.
