spring break

the grass in sturgeon bay

is undoubtably greener

when the deer walk in kelly slippers

through the parking lot 

of walmart on county t

they know the seasons

they have the proper permits

they listen to the ice over lake michigan

when it says prance

when the sand is colder than

frozen venison in the basement 

than a layoff at the schlitz factory

than breaded walleye

before its boiled in a cauldron

on friday at the nightingale

or when a shiver grips you

in the night

as you peak over the quilt

the american flag

in pallid illumination

tickling the eaves
