Pram

I am
Not yet
Two and
Lying in a
Pram with
A silk scarf or
A cotton diaper
Draped over the
Pram hood to keep
Out the bright Louisiana
Sunshine probably getting
Ready to sleep but all I can
Remember is being inside the
Pram pushed around up or
Down curbs uneven side
Walks door sills or just
Into whatever got in
My sisters way as
They came to an
Epiphany of a
Little brother
Bothersome
Loud wet
Cranky
One
More
Chore
Though
Pushing
The black
Perambulator
Was a bit of fun
Even just to say it.
Perambulator
And the nick
Name of
Pram.
Hanging
From the hood
Swaying above my
Head is a bright plastic
Bauble I try to grasp
Colored yellow
And red my
Lesson in
Reach
And grasp.
