'Is Smiling(For Lyn!) Poem by Dónall Dempsey

Everything always is:
'I is...'

As in:

'I is...happy! '
'I...is...tired! '

Even to negate it, is:

'I is...not tired! '
'I is...not go bed! '|

(with Churchillian scowl
& foot stamp for emphasis) .

I used to love
your construction

the simple synatax of your
sentences:

'Tilly & Mummy...is girl! '

'Dónall Dónall is...not girl? '

Now I is
remembering you

just as

you was

recall your words


just as

they is

& I
...is smiling.
