Another Story of Vi's . . . still drifting in my mind

Vi - this is off the wall, but do you remember a piece that you wrote (maybe 2002?) that I said reminded me of the e.e.cummings poem about the goat-footed balloon man? It seems to me it was set at a beach and it involved a bench . . . something that disappeared . . . part of the reason I ask is that though I can’t remember the particulars of the story, the feeling of it has never left me. I remembered it when I painted this picture called “Eating a Rainbow.”

In Just-

in Just-
spring       when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles       far       and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far       and       wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
   the

           goat-footed

balloonMan       whistles
far
and
wee
