for Henry

possibly because you are the only person I know
from Kazakhstan?
and resemble a potato

you are very special
and three years old
(you also have lesbian parents and I think
that is very cool)

I never knew
how many animals
one knows
and can draw

today
draw sleeping chikmunk, swimin dolphin, elphant, graf, little guy, dog, cat, zebra, that, dragon, lion, turtle, rhino, hipplepottlemus, duck, draw duck walking, bird flying, Henry!

possibly because you held no
grudge after
45 minutes
wresting a pair of navy shorts

if you had a gun
you would have shot me
in the foot
but ten minutes later
you told me
I love you

I teach you how to picnic
yes, the guinea pigs should join
and the ants
babyseal, whale, dolphin (in the deep blue sea)
should join
to share
Mac & Cheese in the sun
