Butt For The Warmth of A Risen Sun

Somewhere

Behind Closer Bulbous Clumps

Above The Cold Horizon

of Steel Grey Sea

Well, Eye Fished Out

& Eye heedlessly

put It back

on Its perch

to be whacked off

yet again

in M(eye) never-ending

carelessness

In The Olden Days

She would have been called “Sassy”

butt in Today’s World

She gets locked out of Her Class Room

wearing A Tee that says

“DRAMATIC LIKE MOMMY”

Note: This was the poem which got Me fired from M(eye) position as Substitute Teacher’s Aide w The Tri-county Regional Centre for Education, for “Breach of Confidentiality.”  Then during the summer of 2024, when Eye had Eliza’s Mexican dog Concha down by the waterfront in Shelburne, a group of young children were admiring Concha & Eye recognized this former student as She bent down not only 2 pet Concha, but 2 kiss her on her back.
