Half

Do
you
remember
the day it ended
you sat on a straight-backed chair
waiting for words, but
the words you
heard, cut
sin-
ews

When
do you
remember
winding raffia
around coke bottles,
dipping rubber band tied
tee shirts in pans of color dye
creating psychedelic patterns
when do you recall climbing up
mountains like a billy goat
or tasting blue ice cones
or drinking cold Tang
catching fireflies
or sledding
down a
hill
