A poem by talia shire.

Chalk marks stain the sidewalk

Hopscotch fell down

Into a bottle of Scotch

Tape didn't fix the boo-boo

Skinned knees and bloody prayer

Rock marked a change of religion

Hop and skip to Kansas going

To adopt Toto I wrote this poem

On a brown paper bag to give to

The homeless man he sold it

For a hot cup of coffee and a bagel.
