Clan

5 minutes left
of the requisite 30
after your hot dog
before swimming
picnic table uncle
she’s got legs
that go all the way up
to her butt
diving raft out the lake
wish you were there

#23 of 30 in April! For Karin’s prompt to the Real Toads: Last Legs

    As our five-year-old has learned, wave from up to downward and out and scream, "Go, go!!

    A reminscence that becomes a postcard from the past. As Karin says, so vivid in so few words.
