A Light Source


I'm convinced
you're the type
Who'd pull out
the long ladder
climb into rafters
risking mouthfuls
of musty dust
and pink glass hair
just to grab a heap of
once upon a time
whatever-am-I-going-to-do
with these still good Yellow Pages

while happily
stacking them
high
on an empty chair
so a little kid
can have a nice supper
with the rest of the adults.

Yeah, you




I'm convinced you're the type
who'd pull out the long ladder
climb into rafters
risk mouthfuls of camel dust
and pink glass hair

just to grab a heap of
once upon a time
whatever-am-I-going-to-do
with these still good yellow pages

only to happily
stack them high
upon a once empty chair
so some little kid
can have a nice supper
with the rest of the adults.
