"railroaders" poems
I am from silly sisters, full time moms, and missing dads
From Mexican Railroaders and southern slavers
I am from cramming in and spreading out
From jumping on the bed and sleeping on the sheet
I am from kitten toys and a purple piggy bank
From P.B. cookies and B+s on the fridge[b]
I am from Stam Chocolate
From pizza pie and spaghetti piled high
I am from Birthday Girl picks dinner
From salad dressing bottles and sweet Maine summers
I am from squishy black cat dolls
From the Time Out Chair and Bear Chair Fights
I am from homemade pants that can't be beat
From "Greenback Dollar" and "Unclouded Days"
I am from "Stand up and be counted"
From the Girl Scout Promise and Law
I am from all these things and more
My poem never ending
