some people are tygers
but not the radiant kind
made of butter rum candy
in the picture book sunshine
when you know, you're fine
at the sugar time tea time
behaving and behaving-
a sudden lunge in the conversation
on a pink and customary occasion
plunges you out into the garden
sunflower blind and weeping
the pupil enlarged to take in
the miseries and the switchback tracks.
