Analysis of Dodson Dragons
Brady Bowen 1973 (Louisiana)
red and blue and green and yellow
are the raincoats of the little ones
sunbright are those rainbow-boots
stomp stamp jump those puddle killers
sweaty faces producing gales
of the cotton-candied laughter of youth
Acadiana-hot it is
as august lumbers to the finish-ribbon
these are the mornings in our Elysium
the knowledge-Nirvana
a butler-buildinged test score temple
self-appointed elementary school elite
instructors line our concrete corridor
affirmation and admonition-missioned
the sculptors of malleable minds
a red carpet of sorts
and we are momentarily celebrities
