It was only 82degrees

A manual rotor mower

But not when you were a kid hustlin lawns

                                                If we remember correctly you bought your own gaspowered mower

Had a lot of weekend lawns to cut

Lotsa of leaves to rake lotsa of snow to shovel

Jah  I was hustlin

                        Had albums to buy clothes to buy

Your siblings didnt

They were okay with the clothing the folks bought forem

                                                             Clothes I wanted didnt appeal to my Maw

Hence  Hustle

Wasnt the responsibility of your parents lawn yours

On occasion.

Of course

            Began with creed the word held for a while  then like a slow slide projector it slipped from the frame to reveal the next Screed  Seed  Meek  Weakthank Gawd E  A not another pair of Es

Then a succession

Gave me enough time to wonder in between times if there was a message orif the nerd cartoonist had returned just to fuck with me another day  or night

 

I don’t know what to say.

Nothing to say Im just sharin

carrying the kids from the car into the house up to their beds without them waking

                                                                                        fortunately

they only had two

he didnt have another arm for a third

that was something he did since he helped his parents carry his younger siblings in

    he liked it then

he likes it now

they knew couples who woke their children and made them walk

learning that they decidedhe insisted  they keep those families at arms length

they could not correct whatever it was that was deficient in them

                                                                         learned behaviour

 

You’re spoiling those children.

    they werent someone to say

                                You have to agree an inexpensive way to spoilem

A time will come when we wont be able to

                                                 Then

Our hearts will ache more than our arms an backs ever did

he pushed it

                even when the time came when he had to carry them separatelywhen they feigned sleep to be carried

he got it

            they enjoyed it as much as he

 

thats when one night as they laid in bed to sleep his wife kissed his shoulder  said

                                                                    You know, you’re spoiling the girls.

Ahbabe theyre mine to spoil
