The Second Button

The button hangs, as if it's done something wrong,

And what have we done wrong

But hold hands in the parking lot?

When your mother honked

We jumped,

And our hands jumped like fish.

You lifted your backpack, the weight of history

And algebra, and hurried to her,

The threads of your pants frayed, dragging little pieces

Of string. All the way home,

My head hung down,

Like the button on a thread.

Open House

When Mom said, “Come with me,”

I sighed and thought, Not again.

On Sunday afternoons

Mom likes to see how others live,

Their furniture and kitchens,

And, I, a good son, get into the car.
