morning, before she chased
us out of the house
to go to church
in our new pants
and shirts,
we bit off
the heads
of chocolate rabbits,
disappointed
that they were hollow,
and stuffed
our mouths with jelly
beans
and yellow peeps
floating in the shredded
rainbow of
confetti in our Easter
baskets.
no one ate the colored eggs
which would
be around until June.
it was a jittery hour
at high mass,
squirming in our pews,
fidgeting,
and kicking our skinny legs.
