Holidays Our Holy Days
for Sandra & Ozone
not governed by the usual rules
able to predict, to expect
unexpected responses
calm to impatient, able to switch
as swift as thought process
string pop, music haywire
record spinning, screeching
noise no one can bear
nerves bare: raw hamburger, raw eggs
can make meatloaf
Sunday dinner, with mash potato
bouquet of flowers
set upon the table, at the centre
how I wish we could be happy
quiet, normal
wish thy kingdom would come on earth
as it is in heaven
for weeks, for the rest of our days
instead of fits
wish we could fit like cup and saucer
able to catch whatever spills
