•The Glove Box•
by April Halprin Wayland
Today, while we were driving home,
the glove box opened on its own.
My mother leaned across and slammed
it shut with her free driving hand.
And then -within the box- a knock?
Or maybe just a random rock?
A foul smell melted in the air,
A grunge-y voice cawed, "Don't you dare!"
He kicked it open with both feet,
A vicious kick. I felt the heat
that smoked out of the glove box door.
Is that what glove box locks are for?

I wish I was a glow worm,
A glow worm's never glum.
'Cuz how can you be grumpy
When the sun shines out your bum!

Ladles and Jellyspoons,
I stand upon this speech to make a platform.
The train I arrived in has not yet come,
So I took a bus and walked.
I come before you to stand behind you
And tell you something I know nothing about.
