Riding My Big Wheel


Cul de sac to the vacant lot

Minnesota Wheat grasses over my head

Their smell keeps me alive 

Tom’s bike was purple 

His bus arrived after Sesame Street

My mom caught a bumble bee by the wings

She parted my hair down the middle

High fly-aways secured with plastic colored barrettes 

Encapsulated in my car cab 

Crying driving through Kentucky snow March a year ago
