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.
. We try to save our receipts but…
Yes our tax preparers are very important especially when we are owed returns
I love the playful nature of this – keep that perspective

Playful, reminded me of Wallace Stevens.
