Trailer Park
I'm in a trailer park
collecting broken shards of glass
pretending they're jewels
digging a hole to search for treasure
using a stick to paint pictures with a pail of gasoline I found.
Across the sea, my dad paints
my plastic yellow boat with black paint
and I sit in a miniature chair, watch Night Court
and eat spaghetti.
