dawn brings the lazy stretch
of a tow-headed little girl...
the one day of the week when
the ritual takes place for her
mom is getting dressed already
thinking of fruit loops galore
and cold strawberry poptarts...
they walk hand in hand, heart to heart
standing in line amongst the laughter
the table is made for very tiny people
the lady kicks one leg out in the aisle...
giggles and pokes, they soon discover
this crazy tattooed lady doesn't bite
but can sail cards with the best
and hug that tow-headed little girl
