Poems and Prose by Tim Fox

  • Stretch Goals

    I’ll tie myself onto the rack
    And if you want, I’ll tie you, too
    Then we’ll stretch and stretch and stretch and stretch
    Until we snap in two

    Then my good half and your good half
    Can run away and play
    And we’ll just leave those other halves
    To stretch and stretch away

    A sliced up golf ball in the grass
    The morning dew in sun
    The water flowing under ice
    Before the day’s undone

    You’re late for school, the car is here
    The creek is on the rise
    You must have known me better then
    Through that gray disguise

    Better here than over there
    With the halves all left behind
    Better here than over there
    It was good then . . . never mind
