Hanging on Every Word

by Carolyne Rohrig
and Carolyn Hall


writer's block
inside my favorite book
Acapulco sand

                           steamy romance
                           two chapters upside down

playground gossip
a little boy hangs
on every word

                           tight Scrabble game -
                           in her hand
                           AAEIIOU

rehearsing the eye chart
before the doctor comes in

                           home late again-
                           she reads him
                           the riot act
