it must be afternoon
Raymond L. Heinrich
worries
come and go in an afternoon
but most of us will be around
a little longer
my mother says
as i
say maybe it’s time you came to live with us
after all we used to live with you
and she thinks
what i said
is funny
and i don’t know
what to do with her
and i don’t have
any kids myself
so no one
won’t know what
to do with me
oh
it must be afternoon
