round
marbles
[in a bowl at grandma’s house]
golf balls
[at the bottom of a pool]
pine nuts
[they’re the color of his eyes]
flat
pieces of pencil lead
[when angry girls press too hard]
the mouth
[of a mother who hasn’t seen light in years]
static
the furniture at grandma’s house
[especially the floral couches]
dynamic
smashing teacups on trees
[because kicking clouds isn’t allowed]
