Call to Mommy
written by Orelinde06:21 AM 1/28/05"Mommy, can you come home now?
The fluffy grey children are throwing
their liquefied rocks onto the patio, again.
I can't see the lights from the neighborhood.
Check the lakebed for me, I think the moon
was stolen from her again, and she's soiled.
Did you see the plastic fin, on your way
towards Edward's gates? And mommy?
Can you come home now? You've left
me all alone on this gloomy rainy night." |

Author's footnotes and comments on this Poem:
It was raining. I was alone, and bored. The lakebed is a lakebed, Edward's Gates refers to Edwards Air Force Base (California) where my mom works and where I go to school. The fin is a plastic shark fin that gets put on the lakebed when it rains. There I explained something.
