Dad's First Poem

I only have eyes.

Princeton Park in the summer time.
Daddy "Q"in on the powder dust backyard.
Jolly Roger versus ......(whomever) ice cream cones.
Hot nites, no air
Runnin' after billions of fireflies alive just for us to catch.
Baseball (Cubs) Pajamas.
Broken metal skates...
So hot...waiting, wondering when we could fry eggs on the sidewalk.
Grass wars (dirt all over the street),
half he lawn pulled up....spankins' on the way.
Dust on the Venetian Blinds (What's that?)
Chalk from the trains.
Endless days...
Hot nights...
Mommie, kiss good nite...
"I only have eyes for you"....

I love you DAD!!!!
