Limited by
income and
imagination,
I handed her my shy birthday present,
prefaced it with
awkward hands in Levi pockets
along with apologies for
what it was not.
Inside the cheap wrapping paper
in a small cardboard box
a handful of pebbles
(some quite attractive, I thought).
It's for throwing against my window
you know? If you ever need me late at night.
I stole the idea from the Beav and am guessing
Wally would have been envious of her reaction
