Branch Droplets

Visual memory is an oily 
distractible adjective container;
non-standard, and so useless on
the international higher seas.

Sail, rather, on the decisive 
minuet, the musical cordword
tied to a not-yet-fire, piled
under a tarp to keep the kindle kin.

Familial, aloof, artificial; 
dichotomy cookies have
chocolate chips and always
fail to pass the marshmallow test.

Patience, children, you are dust motes,
smote on the paper that was set 
in front of you, and in spite of all
that knowing, your olders give you worse.
