GIVE AND/OR GIVE OR TAKE
eser and i
we deal cards and such
also
give cards and much
to deserving and to unknown
a fluffy bunny to a four year old
in a village
on a treed roadside
to clutch
with
joy to behold
team logo balls
and puzzles
to siblings 3 and 7
whose mother walking
asked for some better things
at a gas station
on a desert
not unlike Bagdad Cafe
sets of hand tools
measuring tapes
nails and screws
to
design
and build
or just repair dreams
to six or seven boys of 8 to eleven
who weighed us
in their glances
and almost feared to ask
for a few more sets
for family and friends
in their minds
who had not made it to the rain water ditch
on the roadside with no shade for fathoms
all of them our friends and memories
