an example of the
oldest child
sister of two
wild brothers
ran around the house
in their skivvies
swung the littlest
through the air playing
brains rattling in his head
probably why he's
crazy now
used to
leap
off the kitchen
tables and chairs
sheets and towels
tied around his neck
like the cord in mom's
womb
thought he was
the Cape Crusader
with Spidy senses
tingling
when we washed the
TV
with soap and water to surprise
mommy was relieved her
children handn't gotten
electrocuted
spring
