Alligator Watching
Time is
the weight
in our clothes.
Quentin heard it's clicks
in every simple motion
made
and had to run from
the watchshop.
One year
is too much
to bear
on the mind
so much can crumble
and fade.
One never wanted
to hit so hard
to bring pain
for once
upon
a smug
adult face.
To raise a toast
or a child
is a privilige
not a law.
Take one
Take two
take everyone
to the place Peter Pan
dreamed of.
Find that Neverland
sprinkle paprika
on their hands
and place them
just so
against sanded stone.
