(from the moon series)
Remember when the circus was the only thing
in town and the kids would raise havoc
if they couldn’t go. Remember life
was simpler then. When we slept
out in the fields. When we crossed
a river how we could, by fallen tree
or hand made bridge. When we grew
our food and knew our neighbors
and the doctors were friends or uncles
still sleeping. Remember milking goats
and making cheese. Remember grandma’s
special recipe for apple pancakes.
Remember when everything changed
and no one noticed when that rich guy
in the mansion on the hill bought
the first car in town and drove through
main street on Sundays chin held high.
