1 i bathe myself
in the kitchen sink
because there is no bathtub.
i stare at the ceiling
as the knots in the wood
turn into faces
of my favorite cartoon characters.
2 out at the pump house
some kids are playing
whiffle ball and i still
don't know how to ride a bike.
3 i hunt sea glass. i have
just about every color there is
except red. a motor boat goes by
a girl is water-skiing off the back
i don't know how to do that either.
4 the shed is filled with fishing gear
and smells like shed.
on the inside of the door
there are tracings and measurements
of the fish my brother and sister have caught.
5 i'm too young
to fish so i just hunt sea glass and bury
the dead as they wash up
along the shoreline.
