IMAGINE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A BRIDGE
IMAGINE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A GAME OF HOPSCOTCH
IMAGINE YOU’VE NEVER SEEN A FAT CAT
BY KIT KENNEDY
1.
You’re seven in a friend’s car thinking
her Dad will drive up the bridge cables.
Petrified and silent, wondering why
your parents didn’t prepare you.
2.
Someone stumbles upon an abandoned game
of hopscotch. Analyzes the markings
evidence of an early civilization
steeped in runes.
3.
Then you awake to morning light
through blinds which the cat rearranges
into the ideogram
emptybowl.
