Commerce East - Happy 4th of July

Kaboom!

Boom boom, 330 BC

The rockets are made of oatmeal

They dance like peanuts and water jugs

They sound like sprinklers

They remind me of firecrackers, one thing only—the Red Robin

They look like money pencils, shaped like coins

I think the government created fireworks

Rocket chips that flies in the sky

They light up in the sky, written in my name as I mow the lawn.

-         R “…that’s the only one I ever choked out, the only one I’ll ever write.”
