Speed Demons
In our frantic dash
through life,
we’ve devised
microwave ovens,
self-checkout lanes,
next day delivery
and
blazing gigahertz.
Thank God for
slow summer days
that entice
sweet corn
seven feet toward heaven,
lingering kisses in the night,
and
the nine loving months
mother and child are one.
