& fifty one
with a three and a half year old
I remember
we stayed at a motel
that had big sculpture of stallions
they bought me TOYS
along the way
I played QUIETLY
in the BACK seat
a wooden train
some indian dolls
did we sing
I don't remember
did we play
games
did we listen to the RADIO
I don't remember
SNIPPETS
of conversation
I remember
putting
PERFUME -- or what I thought at the time was
on corduroy's belly
messing up his fur
I don't think it was intentional
I didn't expect THAT
result
