Once on a yellow paper with green lines, he wrote a poem...& he called it "Spot" Because that was the name of his dog & that's what it was all about... & his teacher gave him an "A" & a gold star - & his mother pinned it to the kitchen wall - showed it to his aunt. & that was the year his sister was born & his parents kissed all the time...& the little girl around the cornere Sent him a postcard signed with a row of X's & his father tucked him into bed every night - & he was always there. Then on white paper with blue lines, he wrote another poem... & he called it "Autumn" because that was the season it was & that's what it was al labout. & his teacher gave him an "A" & told him to write more clearly. & his mother told him not to hang it on the kitcheen wall because it had just been painted. & that was the year his sister was got glasses & his parents never kissed anymore. & the little girl around the corner laughed when he fell down with his bike. & his father got mad when he cried to be tucked in. On a piece of paper torn from a notebook, he tried another poem... & he called it "?" because that was his big concern. & his professor gave him an "A" & a hard, searching look, & his mother didn't say anything at all because he never showed it to her. & that was the year he caught his sister necking on the porck. & the little girl around the corner wore too much makeup So that he'd laugh when he kissed her, but he kissed her anyway... & he tucked himself into bed @ 3 in the morning with his father snoring soundly in the next room. & that's why, on the back of a matchbook cover, he tried another poem... & he callled it "Absolutely Nothing" because that's what it was all about. & he gave himself an "A" & a slash on each wrist & hung it on the bathroom wall because he couldn't make it to the kitchen.
