Freaky
like the eyes that glow in the bush
and stare at you through the night
or like the creature
that claws its way to its victim
Freaky
like the movie we saw last night
Freaky
like the alien mothership
floating above the house.
Freaky.

Funny
like my dog
who thinks she is ignored
and feels like talking
so she howls
to get our attention
and we laugh.
She howls some more
and we laugh again
we tell her to lie down
and she becomes quiet
but inside
we are still smiling.

The Future
I want to play football and sky dive.
In football I want to be a running back.
When I am sky diving it will be like I am flying
and I will want to do lots of flips
and finally
I will pull my parachute
and it will tug my shoulder
and when I land I will probably be happy.

Cow suit
My cow suit is my favorite thing in the whole wide world.
It has a short dress hooked onto it with black sweat pants underneath
and it has a red sweatshirt underneath it also.
I used to pull up my pants legs so it looked like I just had
a skirt and sweat shirt on and I pretended I was a ballerina
and then a terrible thing happened.
It got too small.
It had a cow on the front of it.
On the Day
On the day my words were fat,
flies were biting my lips.
On the day my lips were happy,
I was friends with the waves.
On the day my lips were hurt,
I swallowed sadness.
