day 1, poem 2


Tuck Everlasting
family 1
a green smoothie
father with hair like kale and triathlon arms
mother with breasts like granny smith apples on celery stalk legs
children as white and simple as organic almond milk.

family 2
a mcdonald’s big mac
father with arms thick like mayo
mother with thighs like American cheese
children starchy as a sesame seed roll

family 1 washes their hair with paraben free shampoo
and heads out to the funeral
to mourn all their friends’ deaths.

tuck everlasting.
