DIFFERENT KINDS OF DIVING

Little bent and braided head 

at the crowded dinner table,

in the station wagon, 

eating raisins,

listening to loud music. 

Little lanky body

staring at rocket ship curtains, 

bouncing balls 

against the wall.

What was hanging

on the walls?
Nothing else you love 

will matter as much.

A polar bear, a volcano, 

cartoon Chinese children 

pushing a persimmon 

through red space.
