From a Sidewalk Sale
by
Robert Laughlin

A homemade bookmark
with hand-drawn bugs
and a yarn tassel.

to buy a little girl
self-esteem.

Robert Laughlin lives in Chico, California, in a Craftsman bungalow that deserves the attention of a well-heeled future owner. He has thus far published 150 poems and authored one book. Learn more about him at www.pw.org/content/robert_laughlin.
