Little girl parks her tricycle,

Unwrinkles her red velvet dress.

 

Two baby brothers

come  out

into the sunshine.

 

Bigger baby brother

in dark blue sweat pants,

Smaller baby brother

in khaki shorts.

 

Both bare chested

and bare footed.

Hot sun

warming brown skin,

Short black hair,

uncombed.

 

Big sister arranges

plastic funiture,

Garage stage play

soon to begin.

 

Da garage

iz ready.

Lawn chairz and towelz

in place.

 

Da curtain iz

about to open.

 

She humz

to herself.
