Love

Love is a B-52 bomber roaring
off the tongue of a hungry infant.

A teacher, drawing
discarded ingredients
into her easy bake oven.

A harness crafted with wedding vows,
anchored to the nearest cloud.

A musical trio that fills
the car’s empty ashtray with tales
of water polo and color war.

A tight grip

on the north star.
