Dink

Waiting outside the theater
--dink.
his mother's umbrella opened
accidentally
into the backside
of his buzz-cut head.
--dink.
--dink.
He blinked.
He tightened.
  --dink.

    not sure what to make of this one. are you saying that children with buzz cuts have too little hair to cushion the myriad abuses of life? and, that buzz cuts represent the military. and, therefore the military is powerless against umbrellas?
    i think you are right.
