If March Madness
left you as an April Fool
& the phrase
“May Day May Day”
seems to play
on constant repeat
Take heart! Grab a flag!
On June 14th you can claim
whatever piece of emotional landscape you desire
All you need is a piece of cloth
tied to a stick
+ a photo op
And,
if Flag Day doesn’t work out
We will celebrate your independence
through blissful, easy breezy
summer vacation days
I’ll bring the sunscreen
if you’ll grab the water wings
