UNUSUAL USES FOR SCOTCH TAPE
UNUSUAL USES FOR SCOTCH TAPE
she cries for the fallen leaves
Sellotapes them back on the trees
and here she is at five
fuchsia taped to her ears
"You like my earrings?"
she asks sincerely
"I do!" I say "I sure do!"
Now I search the tape
to find where it begins or ends
scrape it back with a fingernail
bite it off with my teeth
tape her picture to the wall
remember her this. . small.
