Let me ground you: a childhood of after-church-Sundays


Lunch, then open houses.

Ruth—a family name. Truth—not.

The 3.0 that we were. Went looking.


In the forsales—mostly cubed, with lids.

Father number two did research, his thumbs

ink-stained, licked.


I think we all enjoyed. The clean windows.

Shiny knobs. Bathrooms w/o brushes.

Garages without car.


The promise of built-in shelves.

Of insert family “here.” Where the highest

number of stairs, was,


we wanted hard, historic woods.

Put an elephant in those closets.

Swap cards. Loddy-dah. Our tradition.
