here’s to the village

you never forget

you never forget
your second
village parade,
when the skeleton
with the little girl
took advantage of
the crowd to put his
hands all over you, then,
picking up his
boom-box, walked
away, intentionally
looking back

at times like these, we
know that there are
ticker tape and streamers,
noisemakers and
hullabaloo amassing
somewhere
, ready
to be distributed,
tested – an exercise
in gravity
and the pull of
childhood heroes
