field trip one
hushing whispers
to supress the illicit taste of freedom
of glowing faces lost in a raspberry cloud
itchy grass tickles backs
as vanilla melts in my mouth
wind whips chocolate car exhaust
and sun warmed velvet hugs the flesh
icy perfumed water
mixes with cinnamon gum
as resistance presses into gravel
field trip two
laughter draws swords
to battle the birds
sun melts the raspberry skin
as ears ring
in the shampood breeze
peppermint water
cools coughing flagpoles
while hushing cars
ooze grassy exhaust
dry leaves break
like gravelled tic tacs
monotonous teachers
overpowered by sun-warmed joy
