Tax Day
once a year
their taxes are due
they come to me
receipts all askew
forms galore
they’re not sure
can I claim this
how about that
no sir, you cannot claim
your cat
aren’t’ my crumb crunchers
worth a bit more
please, help me tax lady
I’m paycheck poor
I can just see the poetess hunched over her desk, so, very, very, very annoyed by the other people’s stupid. I love when you channel these fragments of moments like annoyance and frustration because the emotion within the words is always so well crafted that as a reader you feel what you are reading.
I always love reading your work Amanda.

Very descriptive. With time we might be able to claim our animal families…maybe.
Yes our tax preparers are very important especially when we are owed returns😊. We try to save our receipts but…
I love the playful nature of this – keep that perspective 🙂 <3
Playful, reminded me of Wallace Stevens.
