Moments
tiny and I
were watching
people go by
and wired were we
from free
mocha shots
swinging our feet
to an internal beat
and sipping sweetly
above a whip cream rim
she told me
about her day
how she made a crown,
a necklace and raced around
how Jack doesn’t like girls
but plays with her anyway
and then she sings …
“Alligator Pie, Alligator Pie,
if I don’t get some
I think I’m gonna die …”
and she whistles
and winks
and sticks out her tongue
and says,
“Ok, I’m done,
now, let’s go do
something fun”
