Rolling and restless
tossled hair
wild-eyed smile
I see a rug monkey
dancing too close to the delicate glass
building a tent in the living room
and rubbing cheetos into the carpet
energy balls of
silliness stuffing fill a floppy cotton body
and curl a mischievous tail
in the creation of a lost world
exploring the usual with a bath towel cape
spill the soda
change the channel
to swing outside
drink the rain and dangle from the trees
coaxed back into lunchtime to
eat a seven layer sandwich from the back porch
and hold my hand
you, in all your carelessness
covered in sweat and happiness
can't help but be inspired
to stop with the dishes and sit a while
peeling socks from soaking feet
