                                                loose and crazy these female dinosaurs                          -I'm not sure this whole line fits
                                                busy buttering hunk to hunk                                         -buttering is cute
                                                loose only for a piece of rump                                        -they are all clara pellers?
                                                and give me some toast                                                 -this is tragedy, honestly
                                                let me watch the sun                                                      -good metaphor
                                                as it touches off flowers like dynamite                              -beautiful description of explosive colors of flowers
                                                like fireflies on nuclear power cycles                                  -like is easy to use
                                                honest-to-god real lightning and thunder bugs                -I really like this line
                                                bumblebees big as mountains but turning on dimes         -human nature, perhaps accompanies suffering

                                                stay out of their way                                                        -I like this

                                                who gave me this day?                                                     -good change of rhythm w/expression
                                                it's plain                                                         
                                                it's gray
                                                it's got nothing to say
                                                it shipped me live
                                                next day express
                                                and now i'm new jersey
                                                and i should have been new york
                                                and i should have been a nice house and a pretty garden
                                                and not this beat-up cardboard box with a wet bottom
                                                but my top's dry                                                           -ALMOST lost me on these last three
                                                begging
                                                to be set on fire




Hi, rayheinrich- This poem spoken rolls nicely. It's dripping with something, not frustration or sarcasm...I'm not quite sure, maybe disappointment? I think there is much room for misinterpretation. I see it as a very thoughtful reminder, too. The very best wishes to you.
