BABYPROOFED (in the spirit of Brautigan)

the stove has no knobs
the doorknobs are covered
the silverware drawer is locked
the dishwasher is latched
as is the freezer
& the refrigerator

the microwave now has no glass turntable
it lies in crystalline diamond-sparkly shards
(a teeny bit is now inside my foot)
because it had no latch
and was closer to the edge of the counter
than we had thought

I love what Brautigan has done for your poetry.

Let's just say it's made it more succinct.
