We laughed easily
playing in the pool
going round and round
making the whirlpool
Somehow we came to
a discussion of people
that they are not things
or objects, but rather they are nouns
Joking further
that if we talked about Shanequa
that maybe she was a verb
a blur of motion
Shyanne giggling,
raising the standard
pushing us more
that her sister was an adverb
Sharing together
what it would be to move shanequaly
running and screaming
all through the house
(or anywhere else)

written with Shyanne and Shanequa
out by our pool

Father’s Day
three poems for Erica, Shyanne, and Shanequa
as an adjective, verb, and adverb
