Jennifer's Shoes

We are Jennifer's shoes.

We came home in a box.

Now we go walking

when Jennifer walks.

When Jennifer walks,

we step out, too—

one of Jennifer's feet

per shoe.

We are learning the ways

of Jennifer's world:

the way that Jennifer's

toes are curled,

the softness of carpet,

the steepness of stair,

the curve of the rung

under Jennifer's chair,

the hole in the heel

of Jennifer's socks...

We are Jennifer's shoes,

we came home in a box.

Joshua's Jammies

We are the jammies that Joshua wears,

not jammies for penguins,

not jammies for bears,

not jammies for tigers with knots in their tails,

not jammies for chickens,

not jammies for whales,

not jammies for elephants going upstairs,

we are the jammies that Joshua wears.

We don't fit iguanas,

we're not for the gnu,

we won't suit the llamas

(they never wear blue).

Hippopotamus can't get us over his head.

We're JOSHUA'S jammies. We're going to bed.
