banana tree

she polished the impossible mirror,
coaxed the vacuum back to life


he produced photos:
half a dad in pink,
the house called 'Camp No Problem'


a dog yelps on the phone
someone is tapping
a hammer to the roof



the baby wails
clomp
clomp
clomp
goes the ceiling
beep
beep
beep
goes the street



sun turns
leaves to emeralds;
train calls
r u home?
that's how
a day is lost
