Around the Time

My talent was tasting
tequila on a Mexican
beach watching waves

My desire lay in the
rain counting drops
drumming on eyelids

My laughter was riding a
pink bicycle in circles
thumb chiming a bell

My curiosity was arrested
in a pet store with two
kittens and a handful of firecrackers

My wisdom was spinning
in a backyard tire swing watching
the sun roll in and out of view

My sorrow was listening
to a field of night noise
guessing crickets from grasshoppers

The rest of me wandered
lonely through the kitchen
waiting for the phone to ring.
